Graduation

The most important day of a high schooler’s life... Graduation.  It is the mile marker of your entire high school career.  You wish for 4 years that it would get here, but then it just ends.  It ends in a flash.  Before you know it, high school is over.  You'll never see most of the people from your graduating class, and you’re moving out and going off to some foreign place for college.  It’s a whole new experience and it’s scary, but exhilarating all at the same time.  You have a whole new life.  You can reinvent yourself.  You don’t have to be the person you were in high school, you can change your style, your attitude, or even your name.  You may move out, or live at home; know 100 people or 1 person, but you will have at least one thing in common with every other freshman there.  We will all be scared to death of this new experience.  It’s gonna be new to all of us.  No matter how many books and blogs your read to prepare yourself, there’s nothing like the real thing.  We’re all gonna be in the same boat, just try to remember that.
