The water was quiet so quiet that I could hear the ripples in the water. I tried to skip rocks through the water‚ but all I could think about was you. How it was a very sad and lonely day. One day I thought about the trees and the flowers‚ but of course you’d pop up again. I always thought that life would be possible without you.

Hopes‚ Dreams‚ and Reality Graduation by Maya Angelou is an essay about discrimination. The beginning of this essay reminded me of my own high school graduation.

“I’ve blamed myself enough for all the mistakes I’ve done during college.” And funny how I said that as though I’m already done with college. To tell you upfront‚ I’m still in college (that should be obvious) but most of my batch-mates are graduating (or have graduated) already. I really thought college was going to be an easy peasy affair. But NO! Hell no. At first it was a delightful experience – everything’s new and seems alright. It actually felt like you’re just in high school. Taking breaks
