Emily Pham's Self-Reflecting Poems May 2014 | Page 12

For me, as a high school senior, one of the most trepidatious formalities to growing up is going to college. I'm scared beyond compare of what I will make of myself, how I will become. People change after they experience college life, and sometimes it isn't necessarily for the better. I believe that my biggest fear is that I will fall, and I won't be able to get back up. And in the case that I did fall, it would be completely by my own shortcomings. That itself is quite the gut- wrenching realization. Not only reminded of this fear, but all fears are brought to mind after reading this poem.
