The Places I’ll Go With Your Help
There is a story that almost every person has heard of. As a child the book was nothing more than a goofy story, but now it is something that strikes fear into me. Oh The Places You’ll Go, by children's author Dr. Seuss, begins by telling readers, “Congratulations! Today is your day. You’re off to Great Places! You’re off and away!” In exactly seventy-five days I will walk across a stage, and I will no longer be a high school student. This will be my day, and I’m a little frightened at what will happen after “my day.” I’m not scared of graduating high school but scared of what will happen after I graduate this school.

In high school, my goals consisted of making the dance team, joining a foreign language club, excelling in JROTC, and having fun. My goals as a soon to be high school graduate consist of two major corresponding things: Attending college in order to access a degree in Elementary Education, and getting my certification to teach Special Education so that I can help those who have bigger problems than simply not having enough money.

Rain and sunshine from head to toe”. This specific line makes me believe that while every single person has to potential to become what they want in their mind, you might need some help along the way. Asking for help does not make you weak or less of a person but actually the opposite. It is an irony that during times of need people are the most reticent to ask for help. When you do not ask for help when you need it, you assume all of the burden on yourself that would have easily and gladly be shared with you.
