Senior Year Reflection (in picture form)

This drawing is what i am thinking as my senior year comes to an end. To sum up I am thinking about college, graduation, band, my friends, track, and everything else on the horizon.

the future and beyond

26days and counting...
It is already time to leave my home and to fly by myself. As I picture my life, away from my family, I am unsure of how I will react to the future. I've always been bad at adjusting quickly to the new environment. I could not adjust to the new American society as a 4th grader. I could not adjust to the move during 5th grade. I could not adjust to middle school and I still haven't adjusted to warrenton.
How in the world am I going to adjust to UVA? where most people are strangers and on their own, trying to adjust themselves...
Thank God I am rooming with a faithful friend.
I have so many things I want to do in highschool. I want to do everything. I want to experience my life to the max, until I run out of my life juice.
I now wait til the day i walk across the graduation stage. yelling whatever heck I feel like.

Summer

Come now please. Take me away from all of this. Wrap me in your sweet arms of sunshine, and whisper softly to me on the breeze. Wash me in the waves. Fill me with the sounds and smells of freedom. The time is now. Come. Come. Come.

The End

This is my last post for the year 2011, probably forever, because the world is going to end in 2012.  The Mayans said so... The End

A great person to have around
Not a downer
Nor a party pooper
Anna is the best

Going Our Seperate Ways in the Sea of Life

Farewell

Graduation

All things have a beginning and an end.
The sun rises and sets to mark each day.
Influences cannot overextend
The boundaries they’re given in any way.
Nothing can last, not even high school years.
Graduation ends the experience
And is greeted with the heartbreak and cheers
For the successful college admittance.
As the names are called and the caps are thrown,
The graduates laugh and cry, happy to
Be done, but sad and scared of the coming
Years away from home. Time to say adieu
To the Fauquier familiars are numbing.
For a flower in morning sunlight thrives,
And with the fading sunset wilts and dies.

Story of a Girl

I drew this picture, put it on the computer and used photoshop to color it. This was my first time i have ever used photoshop. I am very proud of my creation.

Do You Do The Doku?

Something I like to do

Is those puzzles, called Sudoku

I do them every night

I do them every day

My brain puts up a fight

Until "Victory!" I can say

I race against the clock

And against a number block

But when I finish

I feel oh so smart

The Queen of the world

Until another puzzle I start.

Senioritis

As the number of days dwindles to conclude my senior year at Fauquier High School & Mountain Vista a sense of jubilation takes over my mind.  I am just now realizing how fast these four years have passed.  It seems just like yesterday I was sitting in my biology class as a sophomore and saying to myself “Senior year seems like it will never come.”  Many of my high school experiences will remain with me forever, but there are a few I wish I had never had.  I was called to the principal’s office for the first time ever in my school career for painting my football number, with many other members from the football team, on the sidewalk next to the senior rock; we received Saturday detention for so called "vandalism" .  I have never beat Liberty High School in football the past four years, most recently losing on a questionable decision by the referees.  I am sure these two experiences will make great stories twenty or so years down the road, but the bitterness I felt at the time of each event still remains with me as I leave high school. 

After graduation I hope to use the education I received in high school to excel in college.  I can’t wait to pursue football in college as well.  Senioritis has hit me hard, but hopefully I will make it, all in one piece, to graduation.
