The Fast Approach
Well, this is it.. the final days until life as we know is forever altered, never to be returned to the innocence of high school. With graduation less than a month away, and my birthday next week.. I feel older, accomplished, and scared to death. This is it, 18 and graduated.. "adulthood"
i find myself in awe everytime i stop and think about the past 13 years. All those years of school, to lead up to one night.. less than 4 hours of focused attention will wrap up the past 13 years worth of memories, stress, failures, successes, laughs, tears, and agonies. tie a pretty little bow on it, because we will only have that package to look back at from that point on. this is it ladies and gentlemen, we're on the path to a new beginning and the end is coming on fast. almost too fast at times-and at others, it seems lightyears away.
tomorrow is grad bash, interact is over, nhs and student council will be over by wednesday. 2 more weeks of classes, one day of exams, final yearbooks, check out, senior breakfast, baccalaureate, and then the 30 seconds it will take for us to walk across the stage and receive a piece of paper that says we have accomplished something. in a way.. it seems insignificant in the broad spectrum of things. but i couldnt be more anxious or proud.
i will forever take all of my life experiences with me. everything i have been through has proven to be a lesson on growing up, moving on, and defining myself. i thank each and every one of you for your impact on my life, good or bad, for that is what has made me who i am.. and as cheesy as this all sounds, i dont think ill ever find an environment quite like this one again.
