As this year draws to a closure, I've learned many things. It seems as if yesterday was my first day of High School. And I woke up every Monday dreading the day awaiting for it to be weekend. And when weekend drew near, I simply had activities or were busy. I went to sports or functions and awaited the end. Thinking of it as work more so than a privilege. I've wasted so much time. Not once have a really stopped to take a breather and just admire life. It's a precious thing. And you only have one. You can't re-do it. You have it once, and then it's gone. If you were to ask me a few years ago where I would be now, honestly, can't say it would be here. I've made some wrong decisions. And no, I'm not perfect and I realize I never will be. I just know I have more potential than what I've been living up to. And it's time for a change. It's not too late to turn around, get a brand new start. So please, be patient with me. I'm still learning. I'm still striving, and always will be. I will mess up, guaranteed. I'm trying to improve. It just happens to be that I'm human.
High School really can change people. You find out who your "real friends" are. A lot is compromised in a short term of four years. I believe these years define who you are. Some call it "the golden years" while others remember High school as their worst years. I don't want to look back and shrug my shoulders in being content. I want to smile when I look back. Life is too short to be looking forward to 7th period. To the end of this game. To the end of the week. Because the endless cycle will just start back all over again. I want to enjoy it now. Before I know it, I'll be graduating. I'm not even promised life tomorrow. I could be here tonight, gone tomorrow. It's time for a change in a lifestyle. So...
Bring on Monday. I can't wait.
