Not the average 17
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I've heard it time and time again, "You are too wise beyond your years," but I never reall believed it until I turned 17.
17 was the year that I realized that everything is coming to an end. I'm going to college, I'm graduating high school, my entire childhood as I knew it was going to be dust in the wind in just a little less than a year. And with that I did what any normal teenager would do... I freaked out. But now I realize that growing up isn't the end of the world, it's actually the beginning of it. If not for my 17 years, I wouldn't have understood that maybe Clinton wasn't the best thing in the world, and maybe I don't HAVE to know what I wanna be right this very moment. I wouldn't have understood that EVERYONE in this world needs help, needs light, needs forgiveness, even those who have caused us the most harm.
I feel like, for me, 17 was a blessing. I learned more than I ever would have at 16 or 13 or maybe even 21. Too bad it took me until the end of it to realize that. But who knows, maybe 18 will be just as enlightening.
