Oh the Places You'll Go Writing Contest
Education is my mountain. I must focus my attention to the giant that towers above me and move it piece by piece. I will Move it, and then rebuild it behind me, to be a monument of my accomplishment. I will face obstacles, but with open arms. For challenges come paired with opportunity. This mount will be one of isolation and time management.
As adulthood approaches, time begins to race like a runner breaking into a sprint just before the finish. As I talk to my friends it seems soon they will no longer be at my side. They too, are off on their own adventures. Watching them go is an unwelcomed change. Past experiences bonded me with those that I love. I’m most fortunate to have them. It is they who told me of the opportunity I now have to find new friends whose paths are parallel to mine, and prove myself independent.
During my efforts the temptation will come to be like a drooping flower waiting for a storm to bring the rain. Unlike the flower however, I cannot sit and wait for things to happen. The waiting room is not for me. Decisions don’t get made, papers don’t get written or projects completed by waiting for the opportune moment. I have to make those moments come to me. My energy may lack and I may slow down, but stopping is waiting, and waiting I won’t. Not while the opportunity to go and do is mine.
I will demonstrate what is important to me by the work that I do and the actions I take. With the help of my friends assuredly I’ll move this great mount, but in the times when I’m without I will carry on in my quest. Time waits for no one, it has been proven true, but in moving my mountain I can find opportunities too.
You are such a poetic writer!
