Ready Early!

By Cameron Northan
 
Graduation? Dang, I've been waiting for this moment for years. A time when I finally get to go out into the world on my own, but I thought it'd be some kind of big feeling of achievement. But I don't feel anything like that, it just feels like a normal week, a normal day. I feel ready though, I feel like I can survive in this world, and that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to survive and live comfortably, make memories, meet new people, and live a life I can look back on and have no regrets. There have been a lot of people who have helped me along the way to graduating. I thank them for their support even when things weren’t looking so good, and I thank them for pushing me to keep going to get the work done. I think in 20 years I’m going to look back at high school and think “I’m glad I got out early” because I don’t think I’d be able to handle 1 more year of high school. I never thought I would be the type of person to be able to graduate early though, because I was always an underachiever so graduating early was never a thought for me because it seemed like so much work. But honestly, it wasn’t, once I found out I only needed to take 2-3 extra classes to graduate in 2022 I got excited, I got so hyped about it, and I took that chance immediately. So overall, I’d say it was a pretty okay ride, but god am I glad to be done. So long and goodbye East High School!
