Mailing Day
A week before turning 18, I mailed off the final documents. I used money I’d saved from birthdays and tutoring smaller kids at school.
It wasn’t easy saving up, but it felt great to use it for something important. Waiting for the mailman, I felt excitement and fear mixed together.
It was official—I had set things in motion. Now, I had to be patient and wait for my move to pay off.
