The Climb


This last week heading toward move-in day has been an uphill climb to say the least. One of my very best friends was in a bad car accident and is in ICU. Also one of our family dogs of 9 years passed away. Dealing with this has been difficult, but I refuse to let it get the best of me. Optimism, however ill-placed it may be, is necessary.
Douglas County also headed back to school this week, although I am no longer a part of the Douglas County School System. I will never again walk the halls of Alexander High School as a student. I won’t desperately seek out Amy in the band room in the morning to update her on the oh-so- abundant boy drama in my life. I won’t sit across from my best friend at the lunch table. I won’t be a part of the Lady Cougars soccer team.
A chapter in my life is over, but a brand new one is beginning. My [pre] adult life is staring me in the face and I will not back down. I get to start this new chapter at one of the greatest colleges I could ever dream of being a part of (GO DAWGS). I’ve been presented with an amazing opportunity, and while it will be significantly more challenging for me then high school ever was, I will work my hardest, and I won’t lose sight of my goal. I’m thankful for the high school memories that made me who I am, and I’m excited to see where my college journey takes me.
