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, and 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.
