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.
