Last night we had our Honor’s Night ceremony at the high school, and it was a very nice event. The senior class received over $102,000 in scholarship money! I myself earned several awards and was presented with a special recognition for the Singletary Scholarship from UK. Patrick was the Honor’s Night Speaker, the distinction given to the third highest ranking student in the class. He had a great speech that ended with a Bob Marley quote that we should all take to heart, especially seniors moving away for the first time in their lives to college: “In this bright future you can’t forget your past.”
It’s true. There are only three days of high school left, and gradutation is Saturday. It’s crazy to even think about how fast this year has gone by, but I can’t sit here and tell you all about it! I have to get back to writing my essays and speeches due this week!
So, high school graduation is supposed to be a time of fun and enjoyment right?
HA!
I’ll believe it when I see it! I haven’t been so busy and stressed out in my life! As I write this blog entry, I am currently working on scholarships, essays, and a Valedictorian speech. I am also reading two books and a play. How could things get any crazier? At least my four AP tests are over and done with. I guess I will have to see if I make it up to that podium on the 22nd, and then things will be nice and calm. Actually they won’t be, since I have to start summer classes and work as a lifeguard just two weeks after graduation. Oh well, gotta make that cash flow, right?
