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.
