A year of new things to come.

After turning 18 on the day after Thanksgiving, I felt that I was now at the age to do almost anything I felt capable of and I wouldn't have to answer to anyone but myself and God because I was legally an adult. But now that 18 is settling in, I don't feel that great. I'm still at home with my mother, who constantly nags me about everything under the sun. I still haven't takn my driver's test to get my "real" license. I really haven't done anything to really make me feel 18 or like an adult. Could this mean that I was too grown up before I reached that "legal" age? Is this feeling of incompetence a sign that I still have a lot off growing to do before I am really a "man"? Well, I certainley feel that I have a lot of growing up to do. Being 5'7" in the 12th grade doesn't help solidify the situation either. But, I'm trying my best to remain optimistic and see the good things that are soon to come. I really want to have 2008 be a year of change for the better. I hope to grow and learn from all experiences, whether good or bad, and come out victorious against all things. So, this is to you, 2008. I hope you will be a year of new things to come.
