I remember the day. That fateful hour when I felt it fall into my hands. It was all I had dreamed of when I was younger, everything I wanted. However, when it actually happened, I couldn't believe it, I only wanted it to be gone. The responsibilities of being a teenager. All the troubles and stress. It was a heavy weight I could not get rid of. It was if I had the whole world in my hand. Every single part of our Earth, resting on me. A beautiful sight, but an unbearable weight.

This is beautiful and real, something I can definitely relate to. It goes perfectly with the picture- good luck in the contest, by the way!- but not in the way I expected it to. It's something a lot of teenagers are able to relate to: all of the looking forward to it, but when it actually comes, and you meet it head on, you realize how much it actually...hurts.
"A beautiful sight, but an unbearable weight."
That's pure poetry right there. You have an amazing gift for piecing words together, so never stop writing. Ever.
Amazing job.
