Changed

I thought being 18,
Would be a breeze in the garden.
Thing is, it wasn’t.
Being 18 is going to
Be a significant change.

You have to go to college
After high school, but
Of course, you will have to finish
High school first. And in high school,
Your pressured into what college
You want to go to and get an
Application in by a certain date.
While you’re in college,
You have to decide on
What career you want
To go in, like a vet tech,
Or a school teacher.
Also when you’re in
College you have
Homework, a job,
Your family, bills,
And of course your social life.

When you’re done with
College, you have to
Find a job, like a
Nurse or a physical therapist.
We know how hard
It can be to find a job
Right after college.
It does take time to
Find a job after college,
You just have to be patient.
You also have to think
About marriage, kids,
A house, money problems,
Divorce, if any.

After you turn 18,
You have so many
Choices to make.

After turning 18,
You have responsibilities.
If you don’t take
These responsibilities,
You’re gonna fail
Later on in life.
You could be a 45-year-old
Still living in your mother’s basement.
