How time flies -Ambria Curtis

Summer has went by so quickly, and It makes me so sad. It doesn't feel like summer break should already be over. It feels like we just got out of school honestly. I had a pretty great summer but I don't want it to end so soon. Time is flying by so fast. Where has the time gone? Why is it, when you get older time just passes you by so fast. It's like you blink and a whole year has already passed. When I was a little kid, I wanted nothing more than to grow up so I could do whatever I wanted. Now that I am not a little kid anymore, I want nothing more than to be young again. It upsets me that this summer is ending because then I'll be a junior and pretty soon, I will have to worry about a bunch of adult stuff. I'll have to worry about college, paying bills, and a lot of other adult stuff. That's why I don't want summer break to be over yet because then time will just keep passing me by. When I was younger, I never realized how fast time flies by until now. It seems like just yesterday I was still a little kid and didn't have to worry about anything except whatever little kids worry about. I'm 16 years old which is half of 32. If these past 16 years flew by this fast, who knows how fast the next 16 years will fly by? It does not feel like I should be a junior. Now, I know what everyone meant by don't wish all of my years away and to have fun being young. But, like most little kids, I wished my years away by wanting to grow up. I wanted to be able to drive and do whatever I wanted because being a little wasn't "fun". Now, growing up isn't fun. It's stressful to think about and to have all of the worries. Why can't we just be like Peter Pan and just go to Neverland so that we don't have to worry about growing up?
