So, today is graduation. Honestly, these fours years have gone by faster than I could have expected. At times, they were pure hell. Other times, I loved it. I remember writing in a journal, sophmore year, ranting about how great being 16 was and how I was so happy I wasn't yet a senior. But today that all ends. So much has happened since freshmen year. I've had my heart broken so many times as I fell head over heels over so many guys. I've tried to learn who I am, figure out what I want in life and out of myself. Slowly, I've gained more confidence. Friend wise, I've gone through it all. High school is kind of like a filter. In the beginning you have all these friends, but as we've gone on, I've filtered out the fakes and backstabbers. My friends are real, and I love them. To think that I won't see them everyday is almost surreal. But the biggest changes are the ones to come. In 2 months I'll be leaving home and moving to Tennessee. I'm embarking on a whole new stage. I hope I'm ready yeah, but I don't know if I am. Sitting here, I'm teary eyed. Not because of FTHS, that place can burn down. But because of all the memories it helped create. Kathleen, remember everything? Hood dawgs, winterfests... theres no point in going on, because I know you remember it all.
In the end, academically I won't remember a thing. I can hardly look back now and tell you what each day was like because I slept through most of school anyway. But, socially, emotionally.... these really have been an enriching four years. Luckily, highschool is one of the tiniest fractions of life, and sooo much more is beginning than ending. But just know, I truly love you guys, and thank you for everything.
Fourever years Kat.
