High School, for me, is finished.
And wow it doesn't feel like it.
Let me just explain how things went down.
First, I had prom.
Now, I was super pumped pumped... PUMPED for prom
As I got my make up done, my hair done, and finally stepping into my aqua blue "princess" dress I realized that I had been waiting so very long for this day, and it would soon be a reality.
I drove to prom then, in a cherry red dodge charger to enjoy my evening
I soon felt like a celebrity, My cousin's wife to be was there to take pictures, as well as a friend, and an old friend that had just started a photography business full time
Lots and lots of pictures, then came time to go to prom itself.
Now, I am a pretty, per say, interesting person, so not only did I bust out some SWEET dance moves at prom , but I also got people doing absolutely insane moves with me..
One thing I will never forget about this day was dancing with one of my dearest and closest friends, Ward (the boy version:))
The poor kid had surgery on his knee but we still danced, and I'll never forget it " every rose has its thorn after all".
Safe grad was good, really enjoyable.. except the fact that before I got there I was SUPER grumpy.. mostly because I hadn't eaten since 3 pm... and it was 12? something like that either way, me without food does not get along
I had long anticipated graduation day, 1- because it is super exciting and 2- because I was most definitely LAST-- (name West)
Anyway, as I waited the ENTIRE day to pass by I decided to drop my to see my grade 4's that I grew to love during my co op program, and they loved me.
Went I finally got home I literally INSTANTLY started getting ready...it took a while I wanted everything to be perfect
A few things went wrong, parents couldn't find their tickets, and as it turned out, I had them, and I was literally DYING of heat while waiting for at least a half an hour.
After walking in, to be honest, I don't remember much else, it felt more like a dream that I would wake up from, and eventually come true, someday, but not that day. It was a haze, an memory, and scary as all get out.
Finally the letter t-z were called ( last last last!) and I walked over, saw Ward (he) and smiled, and finally my name was called. Most people WALK across the stage.. however, I walked out, did a little jump, and kept on going... all smiles.. and perhaps a bit of embaressment for my father.. oh well.. it kinda just came out
After we threw our hats into the air, we booked'er out of there and made our way to the gym, where Murray and I LITERALLY ran our hearts out, and boys oh boys... we made a lot of noise
As we raced to the gym, we flew down the stairs.. I grabbed a wrap... (yes!) and a drink... finally, and felt a lot better, I was soon taking pictures with all my friends, and enjoying my last few minutes with the people I knew and loved.
Murray and I made a run to McDicks.. to basically shove out faces with food, I blasted Glee on my way home, and loved life!
As I woke up the next morning, it didn't seem possible that I had graduated the night before, I gathered all of my things, and prepped to get ready to get my report card. So I piled everything into my car and left.
I stopped to get a picture for Hudson that was taken at grad the night before that more or less described us as friends easily.
I got to school talked with some teachers, gave Hudson his gift ( a survival pack for Uni ) and walked around the school, for the last time as a student. I sat with Buchanan in the Auditorium and I cried. I am not a person who does a lot of crying, and for me to do so about school was an extreme shock.
School is a gift, I often wished for it to be over and done with, and now it is. And frankly, I have a feeling deep within my of confusion and in a way regret, wondering if I had done more, would I be a better person today.
But then I thought about it, I grew as a person, and as a student, I had my path, and other people had theirs. That is how it was, and that is why I am satisfied with who I am today, A MHS grad, moving on to face things that I could never face without MHS, Rugby, Friends, Family, Teachers, life lessons, and so on.
God Bless the Grads of 2010,
I will miss you all dearly
That is all.
