18 years. That's almost my entire life. I have been a student for 18 years. Today, at about 12PM, I will officially be a college graduate. It's hard to believe that I have finally made it. 18 years, 92,500$, laughter, tears, memories, sorrows, all nighters, lots and lots of coffee. This chapter really is ending and a new one is beginning.
I have to be up at 6AM to get ready for this huge ceremony and for some reason I cannot go to sleep. It makes me mad...but I know that there are so many reasons why I am not sleeping right now. Excitement is surging through me right now. I feel like a little kid on Christmas Eve night. I have so much to be thankful for right now that listing them would take years. I love the fact that my family made the trip out here for this one little celebration just for little ole me. Imagine that. Not only that, but I will be seeing my BESTIE Mandy Sue in a few weeks in Hawaii. She, her husband Stephen and their little boy, Ethan will be meeting me there for a week of adventures that I can only dream about right now.
After tomorrow, real life begins. (Well, minus my little excursion to Hawaii...that's still a little unreal to me right now!) I have to start saving for my apartment. I have to continue to prepare for my first year of teaching; with the help of Tarrah and Mrs. Furst of course. I thank God all the time for all of the wonderful things and people He has put into my path and those that He has in store for me. I pray that He will guide me and direct me the way He wants me to go and help me to make the right decisions through the next phases of my journey.
Dear friends, pray for me. This is big stuff. I feel prepared, but am I ready? Only time will tell.
