About Growing Up - Comments

Life beyond high school can definitely be a scary thing! I've been outta high school for about two years now, and I still can't believe it.

I'm really happy for how much you've achieved and overcome, and I can only imagine how much more you'll be able to accomplish out in the "real world". We don't know each other, but I'm so proud of you!

Plans change all the time (especially in college), and a lot of people go in not knowing what they want to do with their lives or careers, so try not to worry too much about that. Just explore your interests and join clubs or organizations, if you can, and you may find what you're passionate about sooner than you think!

Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

Oh, I feel this all too much. I just turned eighteen, and it was so surreal. I never thought I'd ever turn that old, and now I'm moving out and starting a job and planning for school and.. it is a weird feeling. You're right - it should feel fantastic - but it's almost stressful. All of a sudden, there's so much to figure out that everyone else has been planning for years. It feels nice to have a life to yourself though.
