Good Life

Update on my life...
I'm a graduate of 2012!
I graduated on my birthday, and I'm now seventeen. Graduation week was one of the most emotional weeks of my life. One day I was crying that I was leaving and the next I was "Finally. Get me out!" I skipped some of the senior events like the senior picnic, just because I still felt like a junior in my heart. Sitting in my cap and gown with the other fellow graduating students, I felt in a different world. My head was in the clouds. The speakers were great (even though some other people wanted to sleep) but I thought they were great! I saw student council graduate first, and I just thought: this will be me soon. And sure enough, the row in front of me stood up. Next thing I knew, my row was next. I just watched my friend David as he went up, and my heart was pounding! Taking pictures before I went up was just natural. That's what graduation day is about: you and pictures. So I was used to the pictures. And as soon as David (the guy in font of me) went up, my heart was pounding like a little mad person. I looked around on that stage and saw my counselor lip to me, "good job!" and she gave me a thumbs up. I have to say, I just smiled even bigger at that moment. I was smiling the whole night! Life is so great.

I recently sent in my application for a passport. I'm hoping to go to El Salvador this October break. I want to see my heritage and maybe a missionary... :) I just love life.

Found the Loop

The AIMS scholarship is originally a full ride tuition paid scholarship to any instate college for anyone that gets exceeds on all of their AIMS. Sadly, this stopped just for my graduating year. Which means.. I don't get the privilege of getting that scholarship. I only get %25 thought because I'm not a graduate of 2012. Being tight of money, I've been trying to look for scholarships. And then I realized: If I can graduate this year, I can get the full ride scholarship. I found the loop hole in this situation! So, I'm going to be taking online classes (PreCalc and English) and hopefully be able to drop my lunch and my aiding hour so I can take government and economy. If this can happen, I will be able to have the full ride scholarship! So, prayers that Primavera will let me make it on time and that my counselor will let me drop the classes!
