angeschangeschangeschangeschangeschangeschangeschang When I think of graduation . . . 0 l7n not at at anxious to graduate from high school I guess its because I don't know how: I've never done it before. Also, lm secure with things the way they are. It took me 12 years to start liking school and now they want me to leave. Its not fain Ils soon as you begin to look forward to each school day you get pushed out of high school High schools fun. Its a lot more fun than I had expected it to be. Isuppose theres only so much fun you can ha ve in high school and if you stayed as long as you wanted to you woadd begin to lose appreciation for all the fun and friends you have. I can't wait to go to college. Ialso can 't wait to spend this summer not being able to wait for college. I think of all the formality hi the ceremony - the march, the speeches. You have to endure all this and then the time comes when they announce your name. You feel really exhilarated and satisfied because you know you 've accormlished something and had fun doing it. Graduation is also a scary moment. At that point, when they call your name, you realke that you must begbr your future life. Up until nom you ha ve fobowed a set pattem. lt is sad to think about growing older after high school llove the age that I am rkht now It causes me to look back over the past 12 years and wonder whatl have accomplished - I wonder if I have used my talents to their fullest extent? U We wril no longer realty be a part of things here. I think the old sa ying, You can never go back home' again and expect things to be the same, holds true. Closing! 197
