Graduation fears
I have been waiting for graduation day since I was in the sixth or seventh grade. That is when I became aware of how much control I felt my parents had over my life. That was when I started to rebel against their authority, and I told myself there would come a day when their power over me would end. I started deciding then how it would be when I graduated. That time is finally here.
