We Made It

We did it class of 2015! Saturday afternoon i graduated high school with 399 people I've spent the last 4 years of my life making memories with, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Most of them I've known since kindergarten since we live in a pretty small town, Good ol' Douglasville, Georgia. Now the fun starts. We get 2 more months to make memories. 2 more months until all of us go down different paths. 2 months until I move away from my very best friend. 2 months until I move out of the house I've lived in since I was 5. I plan to make the most of the time I have left here, the time I have left with my family and my closest friends. We will make memories I will never forget so I have something to take with me when I go. I've always thought that I didn't like change, but honestly I don't know if I do or not. I've never experienced a change like this. Up until now my life has been composed of very small changes that had very little impact on my way of life. This is not one of those changes. I'm approaching a new chapter in my life, and while I'm making memories this summer I will also be preparing for August. As Edna from the Incredibles says, we must never look back darling, it distracts from the now

You Gotta Start Somewhere

Hey y'all! My name is Kendall and I'm a soon to be high school graduate! When we start kindergarten, and all throughout elementary, and probably middle school too, we cannot wait to grow up. I had these thoughts myself, I'm no different than anyone else. I remember being a little kid wishing for more years for the sole purpose of having more dessert than my parents allowed me to have. Well now I would give up all the dessert I have eaten and ever will eat just to be a kid again.

Growing up is scary there's no denying that. I've been doing the same thing for close to 14 years. School, Soccer, homework, sleep, repeat. My whole life is about to be turned upside down. And while it's scary, I'm attempting to welcome the change with open arms. As I approach my last summer before me and all my friends go our separate ways, I feel the need to begin sharing my thoughts, experiences, and small bits of wisdom I've acquired in my 17 short years. Change can be good.... Right?
