The Life of a Working Student.

My future means alot to me. I don't understand how people can just cut school, or all together not come. How do these people expect to make it in their lives, without a highschool education? I get overwhelmed sometimes, because of going to school, and having a part time job. After school, all I want to do is go home and sleep, or just relax. But lots of times, I have work, or I have other things I need to do. But I know the importance of doing what I do. While all my friends are out there, having fun and being teenagers, I feel like I'm preparing for my adulthood. I don't feel like a teenager anymore, honestly.I feel like I've started my adult life already, and theres no turning back. Since I have a job now, I'm going to be expected to work. I was thinking, and this summer will be the last summer of our highschool lives. Next summer we'll be out of school, in the real world. This summer, while everyone is buggin out and having fun, I'll be stuck behind a register, dealing with asshole people all day long.My dad says its good for me. That I'm working and going to school at the same time. He says its giving me a head start into a life on my own. Not to mention, learing the value of a dollar. I feel like I'm growing up to fast. Everyone has such high expectations of me, and I'm afraid to let them down. I'm not expected to make adolescent mistakes. But sometimes, I wish I would.
