As We Step Through the Door...

From the day we are born, we become who we are. Each day shaping our very character. Each breath building the confidence we have today. Loved ones teaching us how to live. Every day at school creates new experiences, new choices to make, new friends... Each year passing, we long for acceptance into some right of passage that never truly exists. Highschool builds and breaks those who allow it. Each class piecing together an unknown future. Though we may not see it, every decision hinges on each other with it all culminating on one day. We recieve that right of passage. W then are allowed to move on. The few months that separate us from what we were to everything we are to become, adulthood. So little time to prepare. But we do, we go on and we step through that door into yet another unkown.

With so little time until a new life begins, I just wanted to look back on what our life has been all together. With many of my friends leaving in these next few days, I wish for the simpler days of kickball and p.e. I guess it's out of apprehension of losing what's been there for so long. But we all must go. We become who we are meant to be, though as we grow older, we never do lose that which made us what we are. That which made it possible.....

....to step through the door....
