Sitting down and trying to think of a profound moment that I would be comfortable sharing with not only my English teacher, but the entire English class, was quite possibly one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. Profound moments don’t come along very often, and even when they do they are hard to put to words, and sometimes too personal to share. The moment I came up with sounds like a complete cliché, but my first day of high school was very profound for me. It struck me that day that life was starting to get serious, my home life was on the rocks for a variety of reasons, I’d been lectured about college day one of freshman year, it was a lot to take in. Unlike the narrator in “Red Sky in the Morning” I couldn’t really pick a specific moment in the day that was profound, but instead a few moments where it hit me that from that point on, there was going to be less and less time for me to just be a kid. It may not be the most profound moment, but it was definitely a moment of realizations.

Really cool insight on how it's hard to convey a profound moment with all the difficulties around it, super cool man.
I feel the same way about what you said about high school. It seemed like that since high school has started everyone has been telling me to look at colleges and to think about what I want to do with my life. I think it seems like high school is like the start of the rest of our life.
