May 14th

Dear PC,

I can't believe you're coming back to Vancouver so soon. May 14th. I remember I just checked yesterday, and you weren't on the Stars on Ice list of skaters. I hope I can go to it, despite it's still during my IB exam week! Good thing I only have Paper 1, 2, and 3 for Bio and then I'm done. I can't wait to see you, Tessa and Scott, Joannie, and the rest of the skaters. It's gonna be so amazing.
Thinking about May makes me nervous. It's only 2 months away, and I know how fast time flies. All I've done in these 2 years amounts to just a couple hours of exams. I guess that's what it's like for an Olympian too. You guys train so hard for maybe just 4 minutes on the ice or for other athletes, maybe just that split second will put you own that podium. or not. I can't wait till exams are over. I can't wait to graduate, to move on, to start university and to begin another chapter of my life. It's all coming so fast, yet I look forward to it every day. Sometimes, I think about where I'll be 10 years from now. I wonder about what my life will look like and what amazing people I'll meet. I know that there will be more hardships, but right now, let's just take life step by step.
Sometimes I have arguments with friends and it seems like a couple hours can distance people. And you have no idea how to make things right. I mean, can all those years of friendship really be separated by only a few hours? I really hope not.
Anyway, PC, appreciate your friends and the family you love. Don't let someone go so easily. Live whole-heartedly and with no regrets. No matter how people critisize you, I know that you have something special going for you. Don't let people tear you down. Believe in yourself.
