Well from today, i have less then 20 school days left until the end of my senior year. It's very surreal to me. The past 13 years have been filled with heartache, love, frustration, happiness and pure STRESS, but i do feel like it's all worth it.

  I remember the first day of kindergarden my mom told me, "this is going to start the first day of you being a student, the next 13 years are going to be really hard for you but i know youre going to be able to do it"  So as she gave me my lunch box and a pat on the back i began my journey as a student of the west contra costa unified school district.

  13 years later here i am. a senior at el cerrito high with only 15 days left of the school year. I AM JUICED! At the same time i am a little sad becuase i am about to move across the country to start my new adult life and leave all my freinds that i've grown up with behind me. Of couse i'll be keeping in contact but it's just not the same thing as going to school with them everyday and speaking with them everyday. I loved going to school with them hanging out at lunch, having a good time, the ralleys the dances PROM! I love it all, it's just a phase i guess like im so ready to go, yet im not, i don't know i guess i'm just confused.

 I'm ready for college though. I feel like it's the new beggining to my adult life. It's like my adolecents is dying away and my adulthood is being born, so to my fellow graduates of 2011, it's been a fun journey, but now it's time we go our seperate ways, and live our lives. Goodluck!
