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.
