To keep tabs on my progress, here's what I have so far:
[Looking back now, I recall the lighthearted memories of my childhood fondly. Sunny and carefree, I remember the good old days. I can still taste the fragrant buds of honeysuckle on my lips as I frolicked with my neighborhood playmates in the comfort of my backyard. With the mild summer breeze brushing against my cheeks, I would smile cheerily without any regard for tomorrow. A day could have easily been spent playing videogames with my brother; the day was mine to keep. I would lay on my back in the wispy blades of grass and gaze up into the sky, chasing the clouds with my eager eyes, seeing a different shape in each one that hovered by.
Fast forward about a decade later, and the motive for my day has meandered in quite a different direction. I often find my days spent in a stuffy building with a plethora of assignments to complete. Long gone are the lazy days of my youth, where imagination and innocence reigned. Now, my future sits on the horizon of opportunity where the amount of time dedicated to my studies will dictate where I shall go in life, a scary sentiment. I am quickly jolted awake from my nostalgic reverie, sucked back into a world where certain duties are expected to be fulfilled. As I turn the keys into the ignition of my car, I wish I didn’t have to grow up."]
I have NO idea of where to go from there. Should my next paragraph discuss further about my current life in comparison to my carefree childhood, or should I use my third paragraph for something else? SUGGESTIONS POR FAVOR.
