How things can change anytime

I was a teenager my favorite day of the week was Friday. I had school Monday to Friday, after a long five days of school I could never wait for Friday to come . I counted Friday after school  as my day off, it's like  when you have a job and you can't wait for your day off to come.

Usually on Friday after school, I  had nothing to worry about. Tomorrow had never depend on me. I just had to think about what kind of game I would have to play with my friends  or how long  I would have to stay in  bed from Friday night to a late Saturday morning, because I had no responsibility ....nothing. After my long sleep I only had to study, do my  homework and played different games around with my friends  like hopscotch, jump rope and cards.

Jump rope

 

 Hopscotch, jump rope and cards were my favorite games. I enjoyed my weekend watching all the TV shows and got ready for  the next week of school.

Now everything is completely different. Before I had no responsibility including no bills. I couldn't imagine  how much I used to cost my parents a year .Now  while I'm in the reality, I  realize how hard that was for my parents. I remember I used to be lazy to get up in the morning when I had to go to school. Sometime I lied to my parents and told them that I was sick, I felt fever, or had stomach ache. I everything I knew that could make them believe me to not sent me to school.

 Now things have changed; everything is different. My responsibilities are too much for me, my bills, my plans, my future. Now they all depend on me, not on somebody else. I used to depend on my parents, now it's the opposite. It's their time now for them to depend on me especially my mother. I'm  her only one child in America and the only one who has a job. I have seven brothers and sisters in Haiti plus my mother. They all depend on me. I have to work hard to support them and myself too.

 Like I said when I was a teenager I used to lie to my parents so I could stay in bed when I didn't want to go to school. Now Sometimes I'm sick and I really need to stay in bed, but I think of  my bills and  responsibilities and I can't; I have to leave bed and go to work. Before I just had to worry about  getting up in the morning and going to school, but now it's different. I have to worry about going to work. I wasn't sick and I wanted to be sick to stay at home, but now even if I'm sick I still have to get up early and go to work.

You never know what's going to be happen in your life. I used to have my time to enjoy, play around with my friends. Now sometime I don't even have time to take a rest when my body gets tired. Always remember that nothing is permanent, things can change at anytime.
