graduation week

PRIOR TO THE BIG DAY

for both of my brothers graduations, pretty much everybody came to watch and support. Now, a few years later, my siblings live a lot farther a way and it just wasn't going to work out for them to come. I was so bummed. For a while i thought somebody might come to surprise me but as the big day got closer and closer that hope began to fail. however a couple days before graduation i stepped outside my door to find my sister Anie holding her baby girl Madi and another lady with a camera hiding her face. i totally screamed at the top of my lungs. The random lady finally moved the camera and i realized it was my sister Jen. I don't even know what happened but i totally just started crying. I was definately surprised. we had so much fun hanging out together and i was just glad to have some more family come to be here with me.

GRADUATION DAY

the day of graduation was a mix of emotions. I was so excited to finally be done but nervous out of my mind to speak in front of all those people. As ASB President, I am required to give a speech to sort of "give away" the class. As I was walking down the track all i could think about was how frickin stoked i was. I mean graduating from high school is a big step. its the beginning of a whole new start. I was so ready for that new start and could barely hold myself back from running down flipping my tassle right then and there. There were speeches and tortilla throwing then finally it was time. my name was called, i walked up, got my diploma jumped off the stage and then it was over and we had to sit through the hundreds of other people to graduate. During that time the anticipation of my speech grew and grew. When i finally got up there i was so excited i was about ready to pee my pants. i sped through the speech, threw my tassle over, gave a woo hoo and jumped off the stage. i had finally graduated!!!

AFTERWARDS

the next two days was grad night, the beach, and my graduation party. by the end of the weekend i was so exhausted. You would think i would be used to it by now. i mean my family is all about go big or go home, so we always go big, and i love it!



of course with every momentous occassion in your life, you look back and look at the journey you took to get there. its been a long and bumpy ride, but i wouldn't have been able to get through it without 2 people that have always been here for me. so real quick i would like to thank my mom and dad, for being the best parents i could have ever asked for. you are my rock, my inspiration, and my best friends. thanks for always pushing me to do better and be better. i owe everything good in my life to you.
