“YOU’RE CUTTING YOUR HAIR OFF!!” my friends said with their eyes wide open in surprise like people when they see a cool magic trick.
“Mhm”, I replied. It was the last day of school and I decided that I wanted to make a change over the summer and years of effort was just thrown down the drain all in one day. I had been growing my hair out since 1st grade and I've tried 2 different hairstyles. From 1st grade to 4th grade, I had braids and from 5th to 6th grade, I had dreads.

“I think it looks good”, Mrs. Martin said as I got in the car.
“Thank you”, I replied.
My friends said it looked better too. When I got home, it was time to go to bed and I felt happy and relieved that I wouldn't have to take care of it as much as I used to and I learned that some decisions and choices that you make may make you feel like they won't be good but they can actually make you
