Change

Many people right now are graduating high school, moving, will be starting high school, or college, or a new job. This change that is happening to all these people is probably very scary. They don't know what the future brings as one door of their life closes and another one opens. Change can be very scary, and is, but usually, it is always a good thing. For example, graduating high school is great! Yes, you will miss your friends as you all leave to go to different colleges all over the country and maybe the world, but the great thing about graduating high school is you get to become more independent. You get to study what you actually want to study, and finally, at least for me, you get to enjoy what you are learning. You can leave behind all the mean girls, the gossip, and everything else that comes with high school and start over, make new friends, and find yourself. Some people say that high school is supposed to be the best years of you life, and who ever told you that must have been one of the popular kids, because high school was not the best years of my life. College, for me, is so much better than high school. I think that life only gets better after high school. You finally chose what you want to do with your life, there is no one telling you what to do. If you want to work straight out of high school, you can. If you want to go to college and then graduate school and get your PhD, you can do that. You can study whatever you want too! I wanted to work in the film industry, probably since I was about 8. I always loved movies, TV, theatre, acting, all of it, and so that is what I wanted to study, but nothing close to that was offered at my school, except photography, which I never actually took. There was so much more I wanted to learn outside of what my school offered, and now I can actually do that. So, the change that I made from high school to college was the best thing for me.
Change is something that we all seem to fear, but we should not be afraid of it, we should embrace it and run right at it to meet it because more often than not, it is going to lead to something good. Change is good, it is always good to have something new right around the corner waiting for you. If we continue to live in the past, we will not be able to move on to bigger and better things waiting for us in our future.
So, if some sort of change is happening in your life, embrace it, do not fear it because you do not know what is coming. It is hard to change, but if you have a positive outlook on it, it is going to be good and you will make the most of it. That is the most important thing in life. Make the most out of what you have, and do not be afraid to make a change. No happiness will come if we keep living in the past and do not accept the change that is happening all around us every day.
If the founding fathers had decided to not make a change in their lives, we would still be part of Great Britain  Change is good. If there was no change, our lives would be completely different and we would most likely not be where we are today.
