90 Days Left of the Adventure We Call High School: Ready-Set-Go[odbye]!
Last Night I was looking at my calendar and counted down the days until I get to walk across the stage in my cap and gown as an adolescent and exit as an adult. Free but responsible. On my own. February 21, 2010 was the day I realized how much time that has gone by and how much I had left. Today, I have 90 days left of being a senior, being a kid, and being a Byng Pirate. Three years ago if you would have told me I would be here or gone through some of the things I have or I would be at this point in my life, well I would have told you that you're crazy. It's been a tough, fun, exciting, adventurous, surreal ride. I know an ending will only have a new beginning, but I should make these last 90 days really count. I've had the privilege to learn life lessons, forgive, be forgiven, fall in and out of love, and get especially close to my family. I really see things in a new light. This ending in particular is bitter sweet but I think it is a start to something very new and special. I've been accepted into Oklahoma State University and will be attending there in the fall not as a pirate but now as a cowgirl. Well let’s count down the days, make our own luck, do something EXTRAordinary.....live. Time is ticking....and it's saying ready-set-go[odbye].
