#78 Tale of a Graduating Senior
Four years ago...
as I can recall,
I stepped onto this campus alone,
nervous to the bone.
I did not know anyone,
or anything about high school,
I was just trying to get to class-
without looking like a fool.
At that time,
I did not know ,
that in four quick years -
my life could change so much...
Through friendships, teachings, memories, and such.
There were good times,
and bad times,
all times combined,
Fun times,
which left memories in my heart -
those will forever be mine.
Now, I am just days before graduation,
I am excited, yet nervous - with one wish,
one consideratoin,
If I could do high school over,
I would do it right,
I would of focused on high school seriously
And would of been an academic delight.
But...your only in high school once,
I finished nicely,
If I had to pass any advice on,
I would have to say;
Take it serious from the start,
look ahead four years ,
what do you want it to look like when your graduating class departs?
With that being said,
When your time comes to graduate with the rest,
I hope you have done your very best!
Well as it turns out I have finished the journey,
I have done my part.
In a couple days I will graduate -
I will leave with whatever is in my heart,
The echoing laughter, wisdom, and memories -
That will never leave me, never depart.

"Let go of your attachment to being right, and suddenly your mind is more open. You're able to benefit from the unique viewpoints of others, without being crippled by your own judgment."
--Ralph Marston
