(Continued from previous page)I want to be a kid, still. I don’t want to grow up. I want those nightsback in the summer again. I don’t want things to change. But even if Ican make things go back to how they were, to stay the same, the worldaround me still moves on.The road… ah, yes, the road. It’s still here. But I have forgottenabout it. Everyone does. We don’t notice it, we don’t care for it. Afterall, it’s just a road. But I can’t shake the motherly feeling of the road.It’s as if we were her children and she watched us grow up. And everytime it rains, streams of tears run down her face because she knowswe’re getting older and we’re going to leave soon.But no one thinks of these things. They just walk mindlessly along theroad towards their homes. People change and the world changes.Growing up is changing. You can never go back to the way it used tobe, even if you tried to. It’ll still be different.But here we walk up to our houses coming home from school, goingabout, growing up, and leaving the past behind.After all a road is just a road.Maya Sauer, grade 11
