is it really over?

Add comment June 4th, 2008

On Friday…. May 30th I graduated… It’s hard to think that school is really over. Even during the ceremony I didn’t believe it was really me graduating. It’s just hard to think, no more homecoming dances, no more spirit weeks, no more walking through the halls of East High School. Thats a really hard thing to think about. For the last four years East has basically been my home, I would get there at 5:45 AM for cheerleading and sometimes not leave until 6:00 PM because of softball. It makes me sad to think I won’t be spending most of my time there anymore.  I know most people are happy that High School is over…. I’m not one of those people. I don’t want to loose all my friends because all of us will be scattered all over the country, going to different colleges.  I’m going to miss High School.
