S-S-Seventeen

In just a few days time I will turning 17. This was a photo of my mom on her Seventeenth birthday. Today being March 26, 2011. I have exactly 11 days until I turn the big One, Seven. It so weird to look at a photo of your parent's or even grandparent's and then look at yourself in the mirror and see how much a like or how different you look from them. I love my mom and dad so much and I honestly cannot sit here and believe that in less than a year, I'll be graduating and be off away from home. It doesn't scare me as to how much older and how much I'm changing; but, I think it scares my parent's the most.
To be turning another year older isn't just another year in your life; It's a way of life and another step towards destiny. Another step towards your fate and another way for you to become the responsible person you're destined to be.
