All Grow'd up

There have been a number of occasions throughout the past four years of my life in which I have really been faced with the fact that I am now an adult, responsible for my own decisions and "free." This week is one of those times. I am currently sitting in a little coffee shop in Boulder, CO, working on a business plan and other work for TeacherHubs. I am skipping school this week and paying my own way to be here. I had to get no waiver signed by my parents, no blessing. In fact, if I wasn't such a nice and communicative son, my parents wouldn't have the slighted idea that I was anywhere but Abilene. I like the fact that I now bear all responsibility for any decisions I choose to make. My parents can only offer advice from here on out; not mandates. It's slightly nerve wracking, but even more exciting.
