I want to be 18 right now!

I wish I was eighteen right now!

I can’t wait tables until I am eighteen because you have to be eighteen to serve alcohol. One of the beauty schools that I looked at going to, you had to be eighteen. I can’t vote. I really want to be a grown-up. I am not like other kids my age. I am a lot different.

I can do a whole lot more when I am eighteen. Yeah, high school years are fun, I guess. I wish I would have graduated early, but that didn’t happen. I am not into the party scene that many people my age are into. They don’t like the homework part but they like to party, get in trouble, not having to have a job, staying up late, etc.

I am totally the opposite of that. I don’t get in trouble. I am very innocent. Sometimes too innocent. I want to start beauty school. I want to grow up and get on with my life. I want to grow up and get married, have a family, be a homemaker. I want to help with youth girls.

    1 Tim 4:12-16 – don’t despise your own youth either. . .

    OH ELISSA! I graduated high school and moved to Denver when I was just 16 yrs. old. Believe me…there’s plenty to do before you are 18.

    I didn’t party either, so I got a job and just really focused on my relationship with God and school. It’s a great time of life to discover your passions and have time to be intimate with God. I’ve always wanted to be older (until now) – I know how it feels. Just do EVERYTHING you can right now. You can get a job and you can mentor youth girls now.

    Elissa, I would like to be 18 right now also. Or I should say have the body of an 18 year old instead of this worn out model. But I’m still 16 inside and that’s got to count for something.
