I'm eighteen years old. I'm young to many people, but don't we take youth for granted nowadays? I'm often told I'm mature (and I don't really believe I am) but I can say the same about yet younger people whose achievements surprise me and make me think, "Why wasn't I the same at that age?" When I think about it, I realize that even at thirteen or fifteen, I did have the ambition and intelligence to make a lot of myself. I remember the many plans I had that only actualized in my imagination because I never worked hard. I could've been a full scholarship student at a famous school, artistically, athletically, and musically able, fluent in several languages, known, not short of a successful relationship, and not wealthy, but getting there. Instead I can say I've changed little since I was a boy. I'm also learning how much easier it is to improve yourself sooner than later. I now realize how many regrets I have, and I miss the happy innocence of youth. But time never gives a second chance.
