my time

I've spent the past year around the seniors, hearing their rumors, gossip, complaints, and worries. I've seen them go through the college process and I've watched some of them mature into young adults. Today wrapped up the year I've spent with them. I helped with their Class Day, so I was around to see it all. Watching them at breakfast, there was something funny that I sensed, and I didn't realize until that the funny thing I was feeling was unity. The class was one. Everyone seemed content and they all seemed as one, ready to graduate and become college students. The speeches were sweet and I admit that I got teary eyed a couple times. Everything just kept reminding me of next year and how I'll have to leave everyone, but a huge part of me now understands how happy I feel.
I'm going to be embarking on my own journey soon. Now the light is on me and the rest of my class. It's time for college visits, SAT's, and college applications. It's our time to unite and become a solidified unit. The thought brings me chills and it makes me anxious. I'm sad that the seniors have to leave, because I was comfortable with being a junior. However, it's time for the class of 2010 to step up. '09 had their year and it's ending. That means it's time for a new class of seniors to take charge.
With that, so long seniors. You will be missed, but it really is time for a little perfect10n ;)
