It's my seventeenth birthday. You know every year how people ask you: Do you feel older? And you never say yes because it's just another day. Well this is the first year where I actually feel older. I mean I am one year away from becoming an adult. Seventeen is a year that scares me yet excites me. Yes I have more privelages but it just means that the end is closer. I am scared for the end of high school. I mean I cannot wait to leave and get out of her but I think I am terrified to figure out my life. Right now it is so easy. It's school and hanging out with friends. College seems like the actual real world. It feels old. So I am scared for this year. The end is getting closer as we know it. So my party with Brittany was a success. Everyone seemed to have a good time which made me happy. There were people that weren't here that I wish were but all is good. They owe me. But the bounce house was..great! Thanks to everyone that came and had fun with me and celebrated my special day with me. You guys truely are the reason I wake up everyday. My sister wrote me this page long letter for my birthday with my gift and it made me start crying. My little sister, not literally because she is as tall as me, but my little sister is growing up. She starts high school next year. I think I am more scared for her becoming a freshman than I am scared for myself becoming a senior. I realize that I am not going to be here to watch my sister grow up through high school. She is in such a rush to grow up. I wish I could tell to cherish the time you have right now. Once it starts getting closer to the end it all comes so much faster. Have fun. Live day to day. Enjoy life. I am scared to leave her. She is the one reason that I would stay in Miami for college but I refuse. I need to leave. So I can't. My sister is adorable. According to everyone she is the spitting image of me. I love her more than life. She finds out in the next three weeks is she got into Coral Reef for next year. Fingers crossed. I don't want her going to Palmetto. I want to spend my last year with her. I can't wait for her to come with me.

Okay. Again. Thanks to everyone that was here today. You guys means the world to me.
Love to all.
Here's to being seventeen.

From me to you.
