one week

A week to go, and it's hitting me. It's hitting me that the people that I've gotten to know and have taken granted of these past years are leaving this place for good. I might never see them again in my whole life. It's hard to believe that you can go to class with someone every day and not realize how much you'll miss them until they have to leave. It's not fair. At the same time, I'm so excited for the adventures that await all of us after high school. Graduating is only a milestone to help us cross into the next stage of life. I can't wait to hear stories from everyone's post-grad experiences. I know things will be different. I used to think that everything would change after high school, but it doesn't have to. I realized that if you're good friends with someone, you don't have to see each other all the time, but when you do, everything just seems to fall back in place as if no time has passed. I know without my friends and family, I would never be here. It's amazing to know that there are so many factors in helping shape and make someone become a successful person. I know that each encouragement note, each smile, hug or acknowledgment has been no less important in building me up. It's with those little encouragements that I have built a foundation upon to face a larger world. I cannot begin to explain how truly blessed I am. God, you always provide. It's unbelievable how good You are to me.
