At the beginning of June I turned 17 and at the time I kept thinking that it was no big deal because I was just a year older, a year wiser and all that nonsense. However, it has recently dawnded on me that with this age in particular, I have way more responsibility resting on my shoulders than I have had in the past 16 years.
In the space of a year I'll be: learning to drive; looking at Universities and applying to them; leaving College and going to University (hopefully) - that's a lot! Many changes will be occuring over the next 12 months and I'm not sure if I'm prepared for them.
I've started driving and looking at Universities and in both situations I've felt excited and nervous, but at the same time the whole concept of this "adult thing" is still so fresh that I'm not sure how to feel about it.
Around me, I have friends and family who are getting engaged, married, having babies, getting accepted in to University etc. and it all seems so bizarre that in a few years time that may or may not be me.
I guess growing up doesn't get much easier from here on, but I do know that I have the passion and drive to make the journey to adult hood that bit smoother.
