Assignment #2 Grade 12

    Along a windy dusty trail, that leads to a place of frustration, responsibility, and freedom, lies a path we all must take. There is no avoiding it. Although there are many alternative routes to get there. Some people take the high road, and work hard to discover the secret of a happiness; and others take the path that's right in front of them and is straight and simple. Bare minimum effort is involved with walking this road. The creative people learn many things along the way. Learning their role in life; their role to the world. On this path, we learn valuable life skills. Check points on this vary from the lower level, middle level and finally the ending checkpoint that is gives you the sight of the end. Were nervous, Were sweating, were desperately crying out for help. Something to give us a hold of something! Standing on the gold plated pathway to achievement are we still are finding fear within our self. Nobody wants to take a step closer, but nobody wants to take a step back or stay longer than they must. Slowly we creep forward. Foot after foot, single file down the path. In the distance there is a form. From this position we can not make out the form, all we can tell is that its flat and people keep going on and off of it. As if time all of a sudden skipped ahead of us, over our heads and back behind us. How did we manage to lose track of this time? Suddenly were there, we see it. We approach the form shaking with anxiety. We've reached the edge. We hear a voice over a system. It's my name. Alone, all alone, I hold back, and move with hardly a crawl towards the destination. I feel as if I'm watching myself stand there, I look pathetic. But after a second look, I look and feel proud! The man voice in front of me all of a sudden catches my ear drums and I hear " Congratulations Mitch, you've graduated.
