One Month From Yesterday

In one month (from yesterday), I will be graduating.  Graduating High School, the place I've been for the past 4 years.  The place where I have grown into the person I am today--the student I am today.  The place where bonds were made and some where broken.  The place where my future unfolded before my eyes without me even knowing.  It is unbelievable to think the place I have come to call my "second home" is now just going to go back to being the building I can see outside my kitchen window or from standing atop my diving board.  I say its just going to be a building but I know I will never look at it like that.  There were so many memories made inside that building (while some better than others) that I will never forget.  I give a big shout out to all the teachers who have had my back for the past four years.  They have put up with my tears and my high stress levels.  They gave me those words I needed when I was ready to give up.  They have held my hand through these years and it sure will be empty when I have to let go.  But letting go is okay.  It is time.  I was never the biggest fan of high school to begin with.  So it is time to close my locker for a final time and open up the that next chapter in the book of "me."  I am ready.  One month from yesterday, I will be graduating.
