CHARACTER STUDY (I)

The day had finally come and her departure time was approaching quickly. She finished packing as her anxiety grew rapidly. She wasn't accustomed to change and the thought of leaving her comfortable room was terrifying. Although the nerves weighed her down, that little spark of excitement and adventure kept her moving. Taylor realized change was necessary and that endless possibilities awaited her. She went through the motions of packing, walking, carrying, while all of these thoughts rushed through her head. Before she knew it she was standing on the porch, car packed, everything ready. Here came the tears, happy or sad, know one could quite tell. Maybe a mixture, like her anxious excitement. Or maybe just tears of nostalgia, for the closing of one chapter and the opening of another. Nonetheless, the tears came. The hugs, the "goodbye"s, the "good luck"s were exchanged and the time had come. As she drove away, she kept her eyes and mind looking forward to the road of exciting possibilities ahead.
