Contributed by: Lauren Lopez on 7/16/2007

There are moments in our lives
When we come to a crossorads
"do I go left?"
"or right?"
"Do I choose college?"
"Or bankruptsy?"
"Do I make my move?"
"Or hide?"
"Do I accept the challenge?"
"Or decline and spend forever wondering?"
These moments define us
And it is in theses moments that we begin to think

What Now?

What am I supposed ot do now?
Where do I go from here?
What if I'm not ready to grow up?
And start a life in the real world
We act as if it is the end of the world
And then we remember
Failure is not an option
Success comes in many ways,
Shapes, and forms
It is time to grow up
It is time to claim our own turf
It is time to walk out
Into the world
With determination
Ready to dream
Live
And discover
Walk out your front door
And live it
