Well.
Its pretty late out here in Chicago.
Just looking at a few new entries from a few friends of mine.
Attempting to get caught up on everyone's life when I can barely keep track of my own.
I read an insightful entry by Toni...
She has 2 years left.
I have one.

Im packing my bags for college, but yet, I can barely stand on my own two feet.
Im not saying that as if Im not independent and I cant make it on my own, because believe me, I can.
Im just saying.. Ive grown up so fast. I was taking my first steps just a few days ago and now I have to plan.
Plan for college.
Plan for a whole new life.

Good bye West Warwick.
Hello ::insert different town/city name here::

I dont know if Im staying local.
I dont know what college I want to go to.
I do know, however, that I am going to be an elementary school teacher.
I want to work with kids.
I want to lead as an example. I want to influence them. I want to most importantly: inspire them

Im 17 years old and I can barely keep my head on straight.
I dont have a concrete perspective on religion, politics, or morals.
I dont know what I believe.
All I know is that Ive been living my life, and honestly?
No regrets.
Thats good right?

Im happy with myself. I have a good reputation. loyal friends. A roof over my head and shelter.
Yup. Im living the life.

I dont know whats going to happen within the next year.
Ill admit, Im apprehensive, but I know Ill be ok.
I have a lot to fall back on but knowing me, Ill make it on my own.
Sometimes I work better when Im on my own... I usually do.

Its getting late and its becoming hard to gather my thoughts together and make a clean cut statement.
All I know is, I dont want to grow up, but it is inevitable.

So Ill just sit here, hold my breath, and jump into the future.

Yea.
Im going to be a Senior.
