The future can be a scary thing. Especially at the fresh age of 18 and you're graduating high school and the world is wide open to you. Graduation is coming up and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. It's a bittersweet feeling and I guess I never thought i'd feel this way. I've always been one to be all "gung ho" about leaving and turning the page to the next chapter in my life. But everything seems to be changing lately, and it's leaving me staring blank into the eyes of myself. Wondering, where is life going to take me? I have SO much I want to accomplish, but to be honest. I'm scared I won't be successful. We all have that fear, or some anyways.
When we walk out the doors of ADM High school on Sunday May 16th, 2010. We will most likely never be back, unless we visit or what not. As we turn our tassles over to the other side of our caps, and unzip our gowns at the end of the day, we will be alumni. I think we're all anxious about graduating, but graduation doesn't JUST mean closing up the books. It means leaving the people we've been close to for so long. Some friendships will last, others won't. It's just a fact of life.
Here's a list of things I want to accomplish within the next 5-10 years:
-Ministry School
-Write a book on my experiences and how my life has changed
-Start my own ministry for struggling teens in the urban calling it "Border to Border" hitting all of the major cities across the united states
-Be known for something. Changing someone's life.
-Study abroad different cultures
-Go to Greece
-Marry and kids...yadda yadda.
-Jump out of a plane
-get several tattoos
-Publicly speak
-Be an aspiring song writer and singer. Even if it's at a local coffee house ;)
-Adopt a child
-Go into the Peace Corps
-Form a band
-Love everyone
-Be the change I want to see in the world.

I could keep going. But as you can see, I want to go far.

Good luck to ALL of my classmates. We did it....well ALMOST :)
