Growing up
By Jonathan Kimmel
In the 21 years that I have been
alive, I have enjoyed many of the good
things in life—the security of a good
home with loving parents, plenty of
food and a roof over my head.
As I grow up and begin planning
my own life, I find that these good for-
tunes are not to be taken for granted.
Yes, growing up is something which I
have put off for some time. At least I
thought I had. My loving parents have
been conditioning me Tor this time all
of my life.
They started by disciplining me
when I needed it. By doing this, they
taught me at a young age to have
responsibility for my actions.
Also, they helped me to develop the
morals that are so important for a
respectable man to have. So, early on
my parents were preparing me for that
day when I must go out on my own.
As I grew older and started school,
my parents were forced to let go a lit-
tle. I’m sure they had mixed feelings of
pride and sorrow when I walked across
that stage and Bob Curry, my prin-
cipal a; Tuloso-Midway High School
announced “Jonathan Paul Kimmel”
on my graduation night.
They felt pride because they had
raised a young man who reached one
of the most important goals in life, and
sorrow because it was one more step
out their door.
But I think they realize that I’ll
always be theirs. Just as I realize that
same door will always be open for me.
I’m in college now and I have a
good job. As I push my way forward in
life, I realize that it’s a constant strug-
gle. But if 1 have half the push my
parents have, my children will have
the opportunity to grow as I have. And
isn’t that what it’s all about?
