as it hits me..
Its really starting to sink in that I am leaving.
Last night we had the Annual Student Recognition Ceremony for Las Po. About half way through I started getting really emotional. so many things just bombarded me at once... I couldnt help but shed a few tears.
It first hit me as I sat there and a scholarship was given out in memory of a young girl named Laurel. Laurel was killed in a drunk driving accident a couple years ago in Pleasanton. I watched her family giving out this award in her honor.. and i began to wonder why i was even still here. So many nights I was so irreponsible, and should have gotten into an accident from driving under the influence of one thing or another. I felt so priveleged to sit on that stage and know that I had made it. Made it through all of the muck, and made it to victory. After that everything else came in stages. I began to realize that it was the end of the road for me at Las Po, atleast for now. Nothing would ever be the same. I would never be able to rush to the office and tell my good news about a test, or get bugged about getting minutes out on time. I realized that I really wouldnt be here if it wasnt for the very people that were sitting next to me.
I began to recompose myself, and thought I would be fine.. at this point no ACTUAL tears had fallen. CYnthia called us up by her side, and began to talk about everyone. These are the people that have been with me everyday for this year. and I am really going to miss everyone of them. I have had so many memories with this years administration, and the great friends that I made the year before through AS. I gathered myself again after only a few tears. AS I went back to my seat, Tiffany glanced back at me and I just lost it. It just reminded me of all the great people I have met. Some of my closest friends are from these past two years; Tiff, Missy, Mandy, Kayla.. I dont know where I would be without these 4! They are all such great role models and inspirations to me. LPC has been 2 of the best years of my life. I am really gonna miss it.
Although i know I am onto bigger things and a new adventure is about to start.. I am still gonna miss everyone here. These are just the people who are at LPC, and who have helped me through the ups and down of my first 2 years of college.. but there are other people I am going to miss as well. My best friend since HIghschool.. Dom, the one person who truly believed I could make it through it all.... My Timothy, my family... my kids I babysit for who bring me joy everytime I see them. Im gonna miss my life here in Livermore.. life will never be the same, I just hope its for the best.
