...Because I graduated from high school today, that's why! It's hard to believe that it really happened. It doesn't seem possible that high school is behind me. My mind is truly boggled. It's thrilling, and a tiny bit sad, all at the same time. I have made some incredible memories over the last four years. (Well, the last eighteen years!) But, I'm ready to see what the future holds. I'm thankful beyond belief for the past, but I'm outrageously excited about what's ahead!
The ceremony went really well today. It was all kind of a blur, thinking back on it. I, along with my friend Moriah, even gave a little speech about our class statistics before the diplomas were presented! That was fun. I remember going to graduation two years ago, and knowing that I wanted to be one of the seniors that got up and spoke at graduation- and I did! It was by no means a big, emotional thing, but I did speak! That's enough for me!
This whole "graduation season" has been filled with blessings from other people. Never before in my life have I received so much mail- much less, with gifts! I really do feel surrounded and supported by so many people that truly care, and want the best for me! That has been such an encouragement.
Tonight, my parents gave me a huge graduation gift... a MacBook Pro!! I can't even BEGIN to express my excitement! I'm typing on it right this moment, and I'm loving every second of it! Love, love, love! It's strange to think about how many college papers and research will be done on this computer.
Some photos from today-
Eli and I before the ceremony. I am so thankful for our friendship. I don't even know how to put it into words!
Me and my wonderful family before the ceremony. They're the best. I'm so grateful for the way that they have continued to love and support me through the years.
Me with all four of my incredible grandparents before the ceremony! It meant so much to me that all of them were there to see me graduate!
Officially done with high school- diploma and all!
Sigh. This day has been on my calendar for a very, very long time. Now that it's over, I'm kind of at a loss. I've never really known myself as anything other than a high school student! But I'm open to change. In fact, I'm rather enthusiastic about it!
