Today is Sunday. Today is also a day that tells me I only have 11 days of school left starting tomorrow. 11 days seems so far away, but with how fast this semester has gone it's not that much out of my reach. A year ago I was thinking about all the wonderful things that were going to happen to me. Some of which were probably far fetched, but none-the-less obtainable-- I just need some more experience in the college setting. A year ago I couldn't have thought about how different I would be just by living in a different city, with different people, and a different life style. I have come to find that living on my own is possible by simply going out there and doing it. Action is what has brought me thus far and I have no intentions on stopping.
A year ago my high school chapter was closing with all the great memories that were knotted in its stitching. I constantly think about them too. Everything that happened within those four years had such an impact on my life that will never be able to be repeated. Even know I continue to adapt to what is thrown at me because no situation is the same even if in the same setting. I could walk back into my high school tomorrow and feel like these things were only stories told to me around a cozy fireplace.
Some of my favorite memories dealt with my comedy group. Everything we did was done with blood, sweat and tears, literally. The two years I got to spend creating joy and happiness with a following larger then our school was incredible. Wearing our jackets meant we were a part of an elite group of talented individuals, people to look up to for guidance, people to strive to be. That's what wearing the jacket meant, but for us, it was just a continuous party. Having the company of wonderful friends that were treated like family, learning dances and songs and trying not to get injures on show day was what we lived for. I still am so happy and it forever changed my life. I see myself as a stronger person because of it. I see my confidence daily because of what the troupe did for me. I created a beautiful thing that no one can take away from me. It's amazing how much I love this troupe. I could talk about how we dressed in a giant tongue for a sketch, or how we had an anger bird close. I would never have been able to do that without them. Each person had strengths that made the team stronger. We clicked, compromised, ate A LOT of Dions Pizza, and just simply lived for the creation of laughter.
High school was so many things for me and I love looking back on what I've accomplished. Graduating with a 3.8, on the honor role, participated in several sports and clubs, was involved in so many things to benefit the school and myself as well as learned more then I could have thought. Now, I look back and smile for everything that happened and re-visit it, but only stay long enough to turn the page to my newest chapter. A year form now I can't wait to see where I'll be.
