And when I say be ready, I mean be ready to get the heck out of high school.
I have been dreaming of my graduation day since my freshman year. This yearning was increased dramatically after I saw High School Musical 4, Senior Year. I have never felt more connected to Troy Bolton as I do at this moment.
Gone are the days that I felt cool about saying I was in high school. I am ready for bigger and better things. My class is ready to be thrust into the great uknown, and as the cast of HSM pointed out, "we're all in this together."
I also know I need to enjoy these last few months of my senior year, because once gone they are gone forever.
Spring break is coming up, and after that we are headed to Disney World for our senior trip. I'm not really sure why the teachers pick Disney World, but I'm pretty sure their thought process is something along the lines of "After this trip you have to grow up and quit acting like immature whiny babies! Enjoy your last weekend of childhood in the place where dreams come true!" I picked up on their little subtle metaphor.
After that we have prom, then GRADUATION! I'm talking cap, gown, pointless rope around your neck thingies, the sappy singing of As we go on, we remember blah blah blah, the whole shebang.
High school is as cliche as it sounds.
I'm trying to think of something awesome and original to do as I walk across the stage, but I can't think of anything, so I'll probably just focus on not tripping.
Suggestions would be much appreciated.
So first of all you don't know me and i'm actually not sure how I ended up here but i had time and I read them and your an amazing writer..
ReplyDeleteI've been out of high school for a while and if there's one thing I've learned it's don't wish your life away.. I'm not saying your wishing it away per-say but the impression I got from this is that your ready to be out of high school. that your focused on your future more than the present. It's good to have a plan for the future but don't let your readiness to get to that future get in the way of what's happening now. your only young once, enjoy it while you can cause once it's gone your going to miss it.. here's some of my favorite quotes for you:
" yesterday's history, tomorrow's a mystery, today is a gift, that's why they call it the present. "
" life is what happens when your busy planning the future. "
" dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die tomorrow. "
" Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. "
" when you find your true love, I tell you to do what we've been told not to do our whole lives.. lie, cheat, and steal.. lie her in your arms.. cheat father time.. and steal her heart away.. "
- made that last one up myself
i turned to the audience and waved like a beauty contest participant in the middle of the stage for a good 10 count.....dirty looks a plenty but well worth it....
