T Minus One More Month!

           So today when I woke up, I looked at my phone (daily routine) and saw I only have one more month left of high school! I have a countdown on my phone of graduation and my birthday (they're on the same day).  As I saw the notification many feelings started running through my body.  I was excited, nervous, happy, and terrified.  The thought of never seeing the people I grew up with day-after-day after graduation kind of scares me.
           I've never been good with change.  When my dad was taken away, it was hard to adjust...even going onto the next grade level was tough.  The thought of my best friend being 174 miles away is heartbreaking.  Yes, it could be worse but its still a big change from seeing her everyday at school or at church every Sunday. My family has gotten so much closer in the last five years and leaving them this fall  is going to be such a big change...part of me is ready and there is a big part of me that is not. Also, during my senior year, I have made so many new friends and have gotten close with people and I'm afraid that when we all go our separate ways, we won't keep in touch.  But, as my high school career comes to an end, I'm determined to make the best of it.
