Counting Down

Hey hey, i got exactly 4 more weeks of high school left and im seriously ready to say goodbye. My school has screwed over so many people and i used to be one of them but i stuck with it and now im ready to leave. 4 more week and i will officially be a college student heading off to Tuskegee University in Alabama which is almost 18,000 miles away from where i am but to be honest im ready to go. Im ready for the new scenery and new faces and places. Springfield has been my home for almost 18 years and im glad to be getting out and seeing new things. All people need change but it all depends on when, where and why. When leaving to start new always have an answer to these questions. So to those soon to be freshmen students at a HBCU stay in there time is almost over you only got a couple more days.

Counting Down

I have exactly 4 more weeks until the summer begins and my life restarts its new story. To a new place of new faces with God's strength and glory. I thank him for giving me this oppurtunity to better myself through education. The thought of seeing new places and faces gives me a chilling sensation.

In a couple of months i will be looking at new place to live and making new friends. Hoping that my learning will benefit me in the very end. So i sit back and fight all the bad things going on at Putnam High School because they too are only human. Even when they messed up your schedule all they did was grin.

Im number 10 in my class though so i have no worries of not graduating. So i'll laugh in putnam faces while i walk down the asile with my diploma singing. 4 more weeks and yes im counting down until my class day. When i no longer have to look at teachers making my day gray.

Anyway im countin down the days until i actually set foot on Tuskegee University Territory. I want to say hey to all the students at Tuskegee Univerity and hope to meet some of ya'll when i get there.

Im Out
