Oh, to be young!

As I sit here and type, I age.
I am being propelled into my future as every second goes by.
A future that holds laughter, tears, joy, anger-- and many other emotions I probably have yet to experience.
I am in high school now, and they say that these are your best years, so is life just supposed to get worse from here on out?
They also say what you do in high school doesn't affect the rest of your life. Are they sure? Won't my crappy GPA affect where I get into college and where I go to graduate school and what kind of companies will hire me? Is it only the lucky ones that say that? Am I pessimistic?
I am wondering, what kind of an impact will I make on this world? Hopefully I'll raise good kids who can go out and contribute to society, but didn't my parents raise me for that? Contribute to society by constantly reproducing in hopes that one of my eggs will turn out to be a good, influential one? Is that my only purpose?


Okay I was going to type this whole long serious spiel and end it with something witty about sitting here on this computer, but it's getting boring. Goodbye!
