Here we go...

I can't wait for October 10th. Kyle, Timmy, Logan, Michael(hopefully) and me, along with Kyle's parents are heading to Nashville for the weekend. It's gonna be a blast, hopefully the boys will get their selves together and will be ready to preform their first real gig. If that isn't exciting, I don't know what is. My Best friends and me, at a party until who knows when, listing to music, and getting to spend some time together because, we have to spend as much time together as possible. In 8 months 4 of us graduate, Logan already has, then we all separate, or we might end up at the same colleges but we will grow apart, I already know it will happen, so why not spend as much time together as possible.

18...

I guess I haven't quite got my mind wrapped around the idea of Turing 18 yet, it seems like such a lovely age really, but I haven't quite built up any excitement for it. I feel like everyone around me has always been so excited for reaching this milestone of growing up, but to me the great mountain everyone sees in this birthday, is simply just a pebble in my eyes. I don't quite see the excitement of gaining such great responsibility in life, turning 18 means being an adult, having to put your future in your own hands. I mean I really want to be the person who crafts my future into what I want it to be, but I m not sure if I'm quite ready for such a great task.

A few Things I want to accomplish or start while I enter my adulthood.

1.Go to, and Graduate College with a degree in something I enjoy doing.
(as of right now, Human Services, So I can be an adoption counselor)

2.Volunteer as often as I can.

(more than I do now, and for something more than playing bingo)

3.Plant Trees.

(I want to designate a day in which I plant a tree every year.)

4.Try to complement someone everyday.

(raising someones spirits for just a second can end up going a long way)

5.Keep a Journal.

(because I will never know, what I might forget later down the road.)

Ticking Away...

“How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flown. How did it get so late so soon?”
- Dr.Seuss

Thinking back to when I first picked up a silly little book by Dr.Seuss I had never thought that some of those silly rhymes would have such a great meaning. I read this quote and thought, how are we about to graduate? Where did the time go? I can't believe how fast high school flew by me. How quickly my friends and I have turned from children into adults, or just how quickly we've changed, grown apart and just grown into ourselves. When you think about walking into high school, 4 years seems like far to long, we all wait sitting on the edge of our seat thinking about how to get out and then here we are now settSng in Senior English. It's just went by to quickly. I'm not thinking how quick I want to get out, but how i want to make the last few months we have last, and mean something. But the worse part of all, is that before too long the alarm will go off, and it will be the end.

Dream Job...

The dream of being an adoption counselor seemed far fetched before, like extremely out of my league, and as time gets closer to graduation, to having to go to college, my feelings toward this career path are growing so much stronger. I've never been the one to keep an idea of a career, but this one just feels right, some what like a calling. The idea of helping people get something as beautiful as a child, to not only help them get a child, but to give that child a chance at a better life, just feels me with this unexplainable excitement. I really can't wait to get started on my career path, to be doing something I feel so passionate for.
