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.
