Ok, this is the time. The time that we leave our childhood behind to embrace a new and mysterious journey called adulthood. As the LAST year of my high-school... Or schooling in general under my parents starts to finally come to a close, it leaves me bitter-sweet on the inside.
The experiences, friends, and just childhood in general has been AMAZING. All the many millions of experiences that I had, friends I hung out with and discussed how annoying school is sometimes, plays I participated, school events gone to, etc. The list is HUGE. It is sad to think that all the fun of childhood will be gone soon. Yes, graduating doesn't change you instantly, BUT it is the acceptance of completion of the challenge of school, and being accepted into adulthood. From here, we will be going to college, finding spouses, starting families, and going on to our adult lives. The kid in us will be "taken away" through the challenges that will soon face us which is college and jobs. Yes, you can always keep your attitude you have always had, but there is a maturity you have to embrace as well. God has guided my many years of schooling and life and I have seen the many glorious things he has done in me and my friends. One of the most amazing things about my childhood was to accept him as my father for eternity. These memories can NEVER be taken away.
As I, and all of the seniors this year, start this long walk of the rest of our lives, I urge you not to forget the past. The past will help us succeed in the future. And NEVER forget God's guidance in it all. We have succeeded and have passed the bar that was put in front of us since birth. Congratulations to everyone and I pray the journey for me, and you will be full of many more great memories and experiences to come.
The question is no longer "are you ready?" but is now "the future awaits".
