Just so everyone knows, all feedback is welcome on anything I write. I would love to hear everyones thoughts and feelings.

Graduation

Graduation, it’s a great time. You get that feeling of pride and accomplishment. You’ve finally made it. After 12 or 13 years you’ve completed high school. It’s finally all paying off. The aggravating teachers, hard work, long nights and early mornings.

As the moment approaches you start looking back on what you’re going to leave behind. The people and classes you’re going to miss. You even start thinking that you might miss that “prison” you’ve been locked in for 4 years. They say graduation isn’t the end; it’s only the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. Maybe they are right.

But people that were main characters in the last chapter will either be lost or only make special appearances in this new chapter. So many things will never be the same as we begin again. Some people will be lost, some things will be lost and they will be missed, but others will be found.

Although it’s sad to see such a big chapter end this new one brings with it new opportunities. Just like a new chapter is written on blank paper we also get a clean slate as we leave high school. It doesn’t matter if you were branded a jock, geek, nerd, loner, punk, prep or anything in between, you will no longer be stuck with that label. You can be anything you want to be.

As the big day gets closer you also look back on those that helped you through your school career. Parents, friends, loved one, teachers, counselors and yes even those annoying principals. Whetther they helped with academics, sports, clubs, hard times, or even just gave you someone to relax and kick back with. They fussed at us all year about “senioritis.” Well turns out they had a point.

And I believe there is another part of senioritis that no one told us about. The depression, sadness and longing that hits at the end of the year. Sadly there is no pill for this dangerous disease. But I believe that with true friends, family loved ones, and the memory of those that we have lost to motivate us we can make it through.

So Congratulations graduating class!

 And may God bless and keep you through out the years to come.

Memories, Hopes, Dreams, the Past and the Future

It's amazing how often these things go hand in hand isn't it? Just a couple of months ago we were dreaming of graduation, making plans for the future. We were sadly and fondly looking back on the friends we were going to miss and the big part of our lives we were about to leave behind. Memories of the cafeteria, the courtyard, playing feild, weight room, gym, drill area, and even memories from the canteen and recess overflowed us and brought tears to our eyes and smiles to our faces.

Now that graduation has come and gone we actually find ourselves doing something we thought impossible... we actually want to go back! But at the same time all this hits us we are excited. Were finally adults, we can finally make our own descisions.

It;s an awesome feeling but its also a HUGE responsiblity. We now have the power to make our lives or break them. It's what our parents, teachers and principals have been grooming us for. WOW, who would have guessed they actually knew what they were talking about when they said we would thank them one day?!

As we move into adulthood whether it's in college, the workforce, or the military we continue to look back and we start to look around at the people that have stayed by us. Family, inspirations, and friends that are so close we consider them family. These are the people that got us this far, we couldn't have done it without them.

To top all that off we are looking ahead. We now have the chance to make all our dreams come true and we WILL do it. We will make our supporters proud, make ourselves happy and make our doubters and naysayers sit-down and shut-up. We are finally where we always wanted to be and it's both a great privilege and a huge responsiblity, but we will make it and even show everyone else a thing or two. So good luck to everyone out there and be sure to keep in touch!

Its not the best in the world. Its something that just came to me sitting here listening to music. Hope yall like it. All feedback is welcome



We dont want to get out of bed

He was tied to a post

We say its too much work to get ready

He was forced to carry a tree up a hill

We complain its too hot or too cold

He never said a word

We wont go becuase were scared of what people might say

He was nailed naked to a cross

We say our head hurts too bad

He had a crown of thorns rammed down on His

We say its too far to drive

He walked the whole way

We dont want to go because the people dont look the way we think they should

He was beaten so badly his own mother couldnt recognize Him

We say were not good enough to go

He died for YOU

We say weve done too much to be forgiven

He forgave the very men who killed Him.


Now do we really have any right to complain? When you think aobut what he went through our little problems dont seem like much do they? He gave his life for us and we cant even live ours for him? Theres something wrong with that picture my freinds. Think about it.

I Am

I am Fire
I can keep you warm in cold times.
I can help you find you way in dark times.
I dont want to hurt you but do the wrong thing and you will be burned.
Anger me and I may loose control and destroy you.


I am Water
I can help ease the pain when youve been burned.
I am calm, gentle, cool and relaxed.
You cant always see whats below the surface.
I can turn deadly in a moment


I am a Wolf
I am loyal.
I am strong.
I am courageous.
I am gracefull.
I am misunderstood.
I am hated by some.
I am loved by others.
I am sometimes a loner, but mess with my pack and you will feel my rage.


I am a Phoenix
I will rise from the ashes of my past.
I will go beyond those before me.
You may hate me and you may try to destroy me but know this.
I will take anything you throw at me and any attack you can muster.
You may harm me but you will never end me.
I will always rise from the ashes better and stronger than before.
Nothing can keep me down for long.
I am unbeatable.




I am Me.
