Graduation

Graduation and the year 2010 came faster than I could ever imagine. 

It seems like yesterday I was in preschool having my mom teach me

my colors, numbers, shapes, and the alphabet.

It seems like yesterday I was turning eight years old, being baptized

and celebrating the millennium with all my cousins.

It seems like yesterday I was finishing up elementary school just wishing I was going into high school. The thought of going to my “dad’s school” was amazing to me.

It seems like yesterday I was starting my first day of high school

so close to graduating I could smell it.

 

It seems like yesterday I was starting my first day

as a senior at Timpanogos High School

The year went by too fast with all the fun times I had in high school. 

I will always remember every moment, from the good to the great to the bad.

Now here I am graduated from high school. 

I’m now starting a new time in my life. 

Everyone always says, “Graduating is the beginning of the rest of your life.” 

I have really thought about that… just how much my life will now be really starting. 

This is the time in my life where I have to focus on my schooling,

I have to now get a job, and actually do something with my life. 

I can do anything I ever dreamed of doing.

I can become who I have always dreamed of being. 

Walking through the “T” at graduation and walking to get my diploma was a surreal moment. 

It all went too fast…
