   The process of becomeing...what?
Long into the nights of my youthful days before high school I lay awake in awe at the vastness of the world before me. God created no mountain whose peaks I could not one day scale- should I so aspire. Full of hope and indomitable enthusiasm I began my journey into the realm of possibilities that lie ever beyond the horizon, shimmering, intangible, yet all the same just within reach of the imagination. A junior in High school I still hold and cherish the hope I found in my earliest days, And refuse ( though many have often persuaded me) to "wake up" and "grow up" into a world that seems to discourage idealism in favor of what many see as "realistic". I have not changed, and as far as I can see ahead- do not wish to change this aspect of my life.

And yet I challenge those who would insist I do. The cynics, the "realists"- I defy you!How dare you impose negativity on those otherwise minded?
If there is no way, no path commonly traveled available- who are you to tell us we cannot?! I have faced a great deal of adversity on this matter, challenges to my resolve in the forms of various incidents: my break-up with my long-time high school love, my incessant fights with my grandparents, my life-long desire to achieve acceptance or die trying my...etc. Yet none of that has ever (for an extended period of time) allowed me to completely abandon my hope for a brighter future- it has not yet rid me the ability to imagine a better life for myself and my fellow Americans; I am not yet- as Hemingway said "broken" , nor have I died in pursuit of a fruitless ideal, nor will I ever.

I will live on in true rebellion to the society that we live in- as a nice person with humble hopes and dreams; specifically as one person with the will to make a quiet difference in the world through kindness. That is my sincerest hope not only for my life, but for the future of my country.
