They say that your 16th is going to be the best year of your teenage life; it's when you're not young enough to be babied but not old enough to do everything you want to do. It's a time when you can do everything but is still bound my limitations. It's when your destination is right ahead but you're not in too much of a hurry to dive headfirst into it.
It's when you shift from an awkward adolescent with too much hunger to know the world better into a more stabilized young adult who knows what she can give to the world and not only what it can give to her.

However, whoever claimed that true obviously never experienced the pure bliss that is the 15th year. It was in my 15th year of my existence that I did things I never imagined myself to be doing.. international competitions, having a prom date, falling in (unrequited) like, graduating, and ultimately.. entering college.
It should be banned.. you know, experiencing all these gush of experiences in a span of a year; but looking back, I'm glad to say I've had no regrets and in fact, everything had been a learning experience and something I'd treasure.

I'm not perfect, and I don't aim to be, especially now that I realized that perfection is merely a Utopian symbol, a word so grand it shouldn't even be legal..
..but I aim to make this, my 16th, the one closest to perfection.
