Today I realized that I am not ready to graduate. Yes, in terms of credits, I'm fine. But I'm not ready to leave Mayfair, my friends, my family, everything that ive grown accostumed to for over a decade. Can I really leave lakewood? Can I take on college? What about a job? My entire life, I've relied on everyone but myself and now I'm terrified of all the responsibility thats about to crash down on me. I've taken so much for granted and so much is about to be gone. June 2010 will be the biggest life changer and there is nothing I can do to slow the clock.
To everyone who feels ready to graduate and take on the world, I admire you. Congratulations on getting this close to The Goal and keeping your head up and sight clear. To everyone else about as sure about their future as a child in a riptide, I'm with you. But since time isn't stopping, we might as well try to shove as much life as possible into this year. We can implement the lessons learned at senior seminar. Talk to a stanger. Learn the stories of those forgotten and shoved aside. Really get to know that 'friend' you use for chem homework. Get to know any friend. Lend a shoulder and hold a hand. Give hugs and supress negative comments. Make the most of life before we are pushed out of the preschool of life. Were almost there.
