College

It all just hit me today that when this year ends  I will be off for college. I came to this realization while watching the TV show Castle and finishing my first application to a college. It feels like just yesterday that I was jumping around my kitchen overjoyed that I had just been excepted into AACT. I have grown over the last four years, but even still I feel like I'm that shy little freshman sitting in a chair in the commons waiting for high school to begin. School has begun and is almost finished now. With graduation around the corner how can I deal with everything new coming into my life?

In the show Castle, the daughter was getting ready for graduation and  was coming up with her speech to her graduating class and the words she said made me think. Everything comes to end that is what graduation is the ending of high school, childhood and many friendships, yet we will always have those voice and people that made a difference in our lives that will always stick with us even in the end. But life goes on we go to college, we make new friends and we go on to better futures. The speech made me think this through and analyze what I'm going to do next.

High school will soon end and college will be our new beginning and that terrifies me. Am I ready for college? Will I be able to survive away from family, friends, and my home? I don't know but I do know that whatever may come will eventually end and may help me become who I am suppose to be. High school is not the final frontier it is really just the beginning of it all.
