so I graduated from high school.

It was amazing. It was cathartic. I think it was everything that it should be. Our speaker was Dr. Ernest Green. He was one of the little rock nine, one of the first black students to be integrated into public schools in Arkansas. He gave such a powerful speech. It was so humbling to listen and to think about all that he went through when he was my age. He is one of three people to receive a congressional medal for civil rights. Rosa Parks. MLKJr. Ernest Green. I was so excited to shake his hand. Google him yo.

I'm going to miss Worcester Academy. I grew up there. I became who I am there. I'll take what the school has given me wherever I go. I feel prepared. Adventures!

I hope everyone is well. I just need to remember my own advice. Don't get complacent. Don't settle for anything less than you deserve.

Oh yeah and tonight I saw a opossum. Life really is beautiful.
