Thoughts for the Class of 2006

Man, the year is almost over with. I graduate May 26, 2006. Back when I started highschool, that date seemed so far away. Now that I'm here, it seems like it came fast. I'm really excited about graduating, but I don't look at it like I used to. Now, I think of graduating as a gateway to new responsibilities. After graduating, Ill turn 18 on July 14. After July 14, Ill be attending Fisk University in Nashville Tennessee. Five hours away if you travel the right speed limits. Don't get me wrong, I'm by no means a home body or the type that wants to stay with his momma (partly the reason why I choose an out of state school). Im happy that I get to move and spread my wings a little. My question is, how will I react to this freedom? I have self control over myself, but whats gonna happen when I don't have anybody yelling at me about coming home and doing work. Who is gonna be on me about being organized? When I get up to Fisk, I really have to get down to being more responsible. I can't fail and be sent back home. There are too many people that hold high expectations of me. I'm one of them. I just can't wait to go beyond those expectations!
