Paragraph Five

The speaker admits to being scared of graduation and what comes next. They feel that going from public school to the real world is out of their comfort zone and that many people are just expected to figure it out. They acknowledge that everyone is at least a little bit scared, but it's important to not let fear control you and to focus on the positive side of things. If I were to talk about my own experience, I will admit, I'm not some cool guy who isn't scared of anything and doesn't fear my graduation. I'm terrified, but of course I am, I can't help but worry about what comes next. It's entirely out of my comfort zone, it's entirely out of everyone's comfort zone. Public school is entirely all I've known, and after graduation, a lot of people are just thrown into the world, expected to just figure it out. And that's scary. I think to an extent we're all at least a little bit scared. How could you not be? But it's about when you make up that fear and how much of it will control you. As superficial as it is, it's important to look on the bright side.
