ere I am. a high school senior ready to graduate, to escape. I. like the rest of my peers,
feel like it is about time, for high school has overstayed its welcome and I am ready to move on. As I consider what a change this will be. a bittersweet sadness comes over me ... what shall become of that which I leave behind? It is not just a locker and a few books 1will leave to be forgotten in the halls of this school, but a whole life. Friends, iteachers. experiences, and many oth­
er things that I will never know as I know them now. I am leaving a life I can deal with, and people who I can fall back on. It seems to me that I am doing more than leaving high school. I am leaving everything old. in favor of everything new. I am leaving then and now and opting for the future.
But surely 1can not be alone in these thoughts, for millions of people across the country will be leaving those old familiar halls they so often called jail .. . where are they going? They too
must be going to someplace new. someplace exciting, someplace that offers far more freedom than where we are now. I guess we will all find out. next fall I mean. 1and most of my friends will be off to college, and a few will do other things . . . and what about those doing other things? I think may­ be they are the truly brave ones. After all. I guess college is more sure than we all think; I mean, a warm dorm, a dining hall... that isn’t too bad. it takes some real strength to go out into the
real world.
I imagine no one can tell the future,
and we all forget the past, so maybe I am in the same boat as everyone, but sometimes I feel so alone ... I guess all I can do is wait for that which is to come, and when it does, embrace those that come with it. maybe then it will be easier to give up what I am leaving.
