Courage (May 2014) by Katie

Most of our lives have progressed with help. Our journey was mapped out. Begin school. Move from first grade to second. Years were marked with change, and we had no say in it. We graduated high school and could continue with undergrad or begin working, but we couldn’t stay seniors. We graduated college, and the world was open to us, but we had to move somewhere. As an adult, it is different. There is no one telling us when it is time to take that next step. I think it takes a lot of courage as an adult to try something new. And it takes courage to not follow your cohort. To stay.
