Your Mom is Graduating!

So I haven’t posted in a while and i thought to myself I should talk about graduation. If you think about it we work 13 years of our life for this day. shouldn’t it be a bigger deal? I know it is a big deal but i’m talking about a huge deal, Like jets flying over head and all the students parachuting down to get their diplomas. After this though I feel like instead of gaining more like I should be, I’m losing a lot. Whether it is a friend I would stay up with all night talking about whatever we felt like, or a friend who would call you just to get some delicious churros and flan at el pollo loco, or a friend who has always been there to make fun of, but its ok because everyone knows hes like the smartest person in the world. It doesn’t matter if i’ve known you since elementary school, or met you this year, you have been a major part of my school career and I hope our friendship will still grow. In these past few weeks i realized how much time i’ve spent with my peers, all the experiences we’ve had. We literally grew up together, and grew from each other. I pray to god that these strains on my friendships, only make them stronger. It’s these types of tests that we have to stand up and take it on head on. I look back and see how much we have all grown, and am proud to be in the company of greatness. Whether you are going to Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, Davis, UCLA, USC, San Diego, Saddleback, some random school in Ohio, or anywhere else, keep these memories in your heart, so one day you can tell your kids. “Hey i remember one time in high School…” or “Slow down there sport… these are the best times of your life.” it wouldn’t be a true speech about graduation if i didn’t add this. like the great Humphrey Bogart once said “Here’s lookin’ at you kid.” Congratulations Class of 2008 Cougars! We Finally Made It!
