Looking Back...

So I just now realized that this was in fact the last year of high school for so many of my closest and most loved friends, but... I just sort of now looked back and recalled that this was the end to my Sophomore year as well. I never thought about it until now. What this year really meant to me. The many things it brought to me. I found a big part of myself this year.
. I did my first solo...
Natural Woman by Aretha Franklin (I love me some soul)
. I was in my first high school production. Mad World. 1.0 and 2.0. (Rose&Madeline to Georgia)
. I sang a duet at the Dessert Carol with one of my best friends Hailee.
We had planned it since the 7th grade.
. I got my first Concert Choir solo. One that I thought I would never get...
Cloudburst by: Eric Whitacre
. I sang a duet at the theatre assembly with a friend who played such a
  lovely part in my life this year. We rocked it.
. I received the Rising Star Award in choir.
. I traveled places with amazing people.
. I experienced love, and death, and birth.
. I laughed and I smiled. I hugged and I kissed. I sang and I sang and I sang.
I really lived this year.
I'm officially halfway done with being able to call myself a kid.
To be completely honest... I'm already ready to not call
myself that anymore.
I am not a child anymore.

This Summer isn't really what I expected it to be at all...
That isn't a bad thing. Just... a different thing.
Change. I can avoid it all I want, but it will happen with or without my approval.
Sure, I've always been scared of change. Terrified actually... Who isn't?
The thing is... I kind of want change.
A change in scenery. A change in life. A change in myself.
All I am saying is that I am ready. So come at me change...
I'm waiting for you.
