As “stay gold” left Pony with a new way of looking at life, the quote has also been paralleled throughout my life in many ways. One way Frost and Hinton’s words have been evident in my life is my love for the beach. I have spent countless summers living with my grandparents down the shore working at different jobs, lying out in the sun, spending late nights with my cousins on the boardwalk. There was nothing like Memorial Day weekend to kick off a great summer. Countless possibilities and opportunities were ahead of me and the anticipation of the future experiences was torturous to think about during the last two weeks of school. The summer flew by in a blur. Countless hours on the job, late nights with friends, and days on the beach quickly became treasured time spent as Labor Day drew closer. After spending an awesome summer with loved ones having too much fun the summer quickly came to a close. I will never forget any one single depressing drive back home in the Labor Day traffic. Even though at the beginning of the summer I always secretly thought and hoped for the grand times to last forever but as the realness of time wore on I realized the goldenness of the season would eventually fade and just became another summer in my memory.
