18 years old – the most beautiful and precarious age of a person’s life. Youth is vague, we are caught up in the cycle of studying and taking exams, sometimes unintentionally forgetting the flow of time, looking back, three years in high school have passed by without knowing when. Where are the days of wandering every morning on the familiar road to school? Where are the sudden joys in boring lessons? Where are the mischievous pranks that do not care about the consequences?…
At the age of 18, standing at the crossroads of life, we wonder which is the right path, where the future will lead, and then each step we take is filled with confusion and anxiety.
At the age of 18, adulthood comes with responsibility, we are no longer children, we want to leave the arms of our parents, go beyond the limits of the family to enter society. However, how many of us can escape the fear and pressure when the National High School Exam is approaching? How to study, what are the exam scores, which school to choose, which major,… surround us, making us want to run out as quickly as possible while the school schedule, extra classes, online classes,… are like a show schedule but the scores do not improve much! Tired to the point of depression!… Through the stories of the people around us, sometimes we want to make money quickly, want to give up exams, want to go to a foreign land to make a living,… Sometimes, we ask ourselves:
– W-ho am I? What should I do? What should I do? Can I stop? I want to escape this feeling!!!…
Luckily, at the age of 18, we still have the opportunity to be impulsive, live for what we love, do what we like, regardless of the results. No matter what tomorrow brings, we still have today, we still have friends and loved ones smiling at us.
At the age of 18, we understand that if we don’t try, if we don’t make an effort, we can’t succeed on the road ahead. To grow up, we have to go through so much bitterness, sweat and tears, but we have the right to believe in our own abilities, believe in the hidden strength within ourselves and hope for a bright future.
Looking out there, how many people have passed the age of 18, are they happy or sad, successful or failing? What do we want ourselves to be like? Continue to be depressed, sigh, panic, worry and blame for no reason, … or stand up and walk, find the future, find the things we are cherishing?
At the age of 18, it’s not as scary as we think, it’s just like a mist covering the path we take. Don’t be afraid, don’t worry, stand up and go! The road is still the same, let’s lift the fog and walk gently. Getting lost is not scary, what’s scary is not knowing where you’re going. Once we’re determined to go all the way, any direction will lead to the destination!
Age 18, the age of beginnings, remember at the starting line there are no winners or losers, winning or losing is decided by your own destination. Promise to the lovely, precious and precious age of 18 to live life to the fullest, to live fully so that you will never have any regrets!
