Going Out From Here
Everybody always talks about the future like it's this magical place filled with endless possibilities and limitless potential. \"You can be anything you want when you grow up!\" they say. But what if I told you the future actually kind of scares me? Yeah, I know, not very profound coming from a 14-year-old. But hear me out. It's not that I don't have dreams or ambitions. I do want to go to a good college, get a stable career, maybe start a family someday down the road. It's just that the path to get there feels so daunting and uncertain at times. Like this huge winding road with forks in every direction and no signs or maps to guide you. How am I supposed to know which way to go? What if I make a wrong turn and end up totally lost?
I think part of the fear comes from feeling pressured to have it all figured out already. By the time we're freshmen, they want us picking classes and extracurriculars that will somehow determine our entire future trajectory. Um, excuse me? I can
barely decide what I want for lunch most days! And don't even get me started on having to take the SAT and apply to colleges when I'm still basically a kid myself. It's a brutal process of having to plan out and sell this fictional \"best version\" of yourself to admissions officers. And then once you pick a school, you're supposed to magically know what you want to study and do with the rest of your life? No pressure or anything!
The worst part is, it seems like everyone around me has it so together. My friends all rattle off these grandiose career goals without blinking - \"I'm going to be a surgeon,\" \"No, I want to be a human rights lawyer,\" \"Corporate finance is the move.\" Meanwhile I'm over here like a deer in headlights. Utterly clueless about what I want or who I even am half the time. I change my mind practically every week - maybe I'll be a writer, no wait, definitely going to be a psychologist, unless...? You get the point. My interests are all over the map, making me feel hopelessly indecisive and insecure about my future.
But then I have to keep reminding myself that it's okay to not have it all figured out right now. That's what being a teenager is all about - exploring different sides of yourself and your passions before settling on a path. The genius inventors, famous authors, brilliant minds - they all traveled winding roads
with plenty of zigs and zags before achieving greatness. Maybe if we put less pressure on kids to plan out their entire lives by high school graduation, we'd all stay more open, curious, and eager to learn and grow.
The way I see it, the future isn't meant to be hyper-focused and narrowly planned at this stage. It's big, bright canvas awaiting all the messy strokes of self-discovery and new experiences still to come. The majors we'll change, heartbreaks we'll endure, new cities we'll call home, unexpected interests we'll cultivate. This abstract idea of \"the future\" gives us something to perpetually walk towards, tinker with, and reimagine as we resist inertia and keep evolving.
So while the nagging thoughts of \"What's next?\" and \"Am I behind?\" still linger, I'm trying to appreciate the journey itself. Looking too far ahead, I might miss all the rite-of-passage moments that make the present so beautifully turbulent and full of growth. Like laughing with my best friends over stupid inside jokes. Bonding with my teammates through hard-fought wins and heartbreaking losses. Testing out new creative outlets through art or music. Engaging in those philosophical late-night conversations discussing our biggest hopes, fears, and wildest dreams over Cheetos and MTV.
These are the times I'll remember most vividly from this era - not the all-nighters crammed with homework, but the spontaneous adventures and stillness within the chaos. Thelingering solace that although I don't know what's coming next, I can keep walking through those open doors with confidence. Collecting breadcrumbs of wisdom, shedding old skins, and feeling my way towards an enlightened sense of self and purpose. Like a hip hop caterpillar molting throughver 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 until finally blossoming into a moth, blazing with self-assurance and soaring towards a future alight with metamorphic possibility.
I know the road ahead is foggy and winding. But maybe instead of worrying so much about the destination, I'll focus on trusting the detours themselves. Heading whichever way the wind blows, seeing where it takes me. Because at the end of the day, getting lost sometimes is all part of going out from here and finding your own way.

Stepping Out From Here
Ah, the endless cycle of life as a student. Wake up, drag yourself to school, sit through mind-numbing classes, and then
do it all over again the next day. It's a routine that can feel soul-crushing at times, like being trapped in a never-ending loop of monotony. But every now and then, something happens that shakes you out of that trance and reminds you that there's a whole world waiting beyond these classroom walls.
For me, that something was a school trip to a remote village in the mountains. At first, I'll admit I wasn't exactly thrilled about the prospect of roughing it for a week with no Wi-Fi or proper plumbing. But as soon as we arrived and I took in the
breathtaking scenery, with its towering peaks and crystal-clear streams, something shifted inside me.
It was like stepping into a different reality, one where the frantic pace of modern life simply didn't exist. The villagers we met moved at a relaxed, unhurried pace, taking the time to appreciate the simple things – a good meal, a beautiful sunset, quality time with loved ones. Their way of life was so different from what I was used to, and yet there was an undeniable sense of peace and contentment that seemed to radiate from them. As the week went on, I found myself being drawn deeper and deeper into this world. I helped out with daily chores like tending to the vegetable gardens and feeding the livestock. I learned how to weave baskets from sturdy blades of grass and
fashion simple toys from scraps of wood and cloth. And at night, I sat around the fire listening to the elders share stories and wisdom passed down through generations.
With each passing day, the constant buzzing of my phone and the allure of social media began to fade into the background. My mind, so accustomed to being bombarded with a
never-ending stream of notifications and distractions, finally had a chance to rest and simply be present in the moment. It was an incredibly freeing sensation, like shedding a heavy weight I hadn't even realized I'd been carrying.
Of course, the real world was still waiting for me when I returned home. But something had shifted in my perspective. I realized that I had been letting myself get swept up in a culture of constant busyness and stimulation, sacrificing my own well-being and sense of wonder in the process. This trip had reminded me that there was so much more to life than just going through the motions day after day.
As I sit here now, back in my familiar classroom surroundings, I can feel that sense of peace and presence slipping away, bit by bit. The call of homework, extracurricular activities, and the never-ending cycle of expectations is already starting to drown out the stillness I found in those mountains. But I'm holding onto
it as tightly as I can, trying to keep that flame of awakening alive within me.
Because now I know that there is another way of living, one that prioritizes presence, community, and a deep connection with the natural world around us. It's a way of life that has been all but forgotten in our fast-paced, technology-driven society, but one that I got a tantalizing glimpse of during that transformative week. And while I may not be able to fully embrace it just yet, I know that the seed has been planted – a quiet determination to one day step out from this cycle and forge my own path.
For now, though, I'll keep showing up to class and doing what's expected of me. But I'll also be sure to take time to pause, to breathe deeply, and to appreciate the miraculous world that surrounds me, even in the midst of this concrete jungle. And maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to inspire a few of my classmates to do the same, planting seeds of their own that might one day blossom into something extraordinary.
Because at the end of the day, that's what life is all about – waking up to the magic and possibility that exists all around us, if only we have the courage to step out from the confines of our comfortable routines and embrace it wholeheartedly. And while
that first step can be terrifying, I know now that the view from the other side is more than worth it.

From Here, Walk Out
The hallways are long and narrow, stretching endlessly in both directions. Rows of grey lockers line the walls, dented and scratched from years of use. The floor tiles are scuffed, the bright wax long since worn away. Everything feels confined, like the walls are closing in.
This middle school has been my world for the last few years. I know every nook and cranny, from the tiny alcove next to Mrs. Turner's science lab where kids gather to gossip to the one water fountain on the third floor that always has a steady stream. I know the smells - the slightly musty odor of old textbooks mixed with the artificial lemon of the cleaning products the janitors use. I used to think this place was huge, a vast expanse to explore and conquer. Back in 6th grade, getting lost in the maze of hallways was a real fear. But now, as I approach the end of 8th grade, it all feels so small. The lockers seem shorter, the ceilings lower. I've outgrown this place.
Don't get me wrong, there are great memories here. That time Mrs. Rodriguez's computer projected the wrong website during her PowerPoint and a definitely-not-safe-for-school video started playing. The instant fame when I beat Tommy Jenks' long jump record that had stood since 2004. That middle school bowl championship my friend's punk band somehow won by playing extremely loud anti-establishment songs.
But those memories are starting to feel like keepsakes from a former life, precious but locked in the past. I'm ready for something new, ready to walk out of these doors and into a bigger world.
High school looms ahead, a vast unknown. The building alone is three times the size of this middle school. I'll be one tiny fish in an ocean of unfamiliar faces. The academic demands will be tougher, the social hierarchy newly reset. Part of me is nervous about that, but an even bigger part of me craves it. No more will my world be confined to these narrow halls and watching the same 300 students pass through the same routines day after day. Soon, I'll step through doors that open onto unlimited possibilities. The whole world awaits.
So I'll bid a final farewell to this cozy little middle school universe. It was a fine place to begin my journey, but I've
outgrown it. From here, I walk out into something vaster and more exciting. The first steps on a brand new path.
Wherever that path leads, it has to be more expansive than these hallways. More possibilities than passing notes in Mrs. Turner's class and hoping for a snow day. More to life than trying to beat Tommy Jenks' decades-old long jump record. From here, I walk out the doors in search of something bigger. It's a little scary, but mostly I'm just ready. Ready to outgrow this warm, familiar chrysalis and finally unfurl my wings, revealing the truer self waiting to emerge and take flight.
