“As you start your journey, the first thing you should do is throw away that store-bought map and begin to draw your own.” - Michael Dell
“You should never begin your papers with a quote.” - Mrs. Caffey
I'm sorry Mrs. Caffey for going against your word, but here we are. We are at the climax of a milestone we ferociously conquered. As in we, I mean all class of 2016. I am proud to say I've made it this far. I am also quite heartbroken because I feel as though we will all forget each other forever. There are so many things that can go wrong in each and everyone of our lives and so many choices that could cause an endless ripple effect of events. The matter is whether it holds a positive or negative outcome. The choices we all have to make as a senior are going to go through the same motion as these ripple effects, so the advice I have to give everyone, including myself, is make the right decisions.
I have to chose to follow a path the universe has set out specifically just for me. Everyone has their own path in life, it's just a shame when one loses their trail. Everything that has happened up until this exact moment has happened so I am able to make my life changing decisions in a such a way that things are black and white. There will be no grey in these decisions. It is either one way or the other, and you can't be selfish to try and attempt to manage both. You will be ashamed and feel like a failure.
I am proud of the decisions I am making regarding my future, and in my eyes it's the most clear path set out for me. I hope everyone in class of 2016 can say the same. Don't feel discouraged. Don't feel as though you are just a speck on this world. Feel as though this is YOUR WORLD and you are making the decisions that come along with consequences that you can't even necessarily call consequences. Why? Because you are so proud of the outcome.
I love every decision I made throughout high school because it has led to create me into the wonderful and intelligent woman I am. I also love every person that has walked in and out of my life because without you guys, I wouldn't understand the feeling of pain and loss. I wish nothing but the best for every single person that has made any sort of impact on my life. There is one more thing I want to say before finishing up my last blog and that is thank you. Thank you to everyone and everything that has lead my life to turn out the way it is meant to be.
I want to thank you Shay for having such a huge impact on my life. You have guided me through me many difficult times in my life and I am truly grateful. If the universe truly laid out our paths for us then I am eternally thankful that my led me to you. Everything that has happened, has happened for a reason I believe. And I hope that our future will be an amazing experience as we embrace it.
ReplyDeleteI’m actually dying over your quotes! Shay!!! Even though we are probably going to live together, I still feel like I am going to miss you! It’s so crazy to think that our high school career is at its final stretch. Times are about to change so much, but I think we are ready! I am proud of us too, and I am proud of the person you have turned into! You are going to make it so far, and I am excited to see what the future holds! I hope your path is filled with excitement and opportunity! Love ya Shay, thanks for such a fun year. (:
ReplyDeleteShay, thank you for bringing so much laughter and fun into my life. I was very excited at the beginning of the year to have you in class. You and I used to know each other during our sophomore years, and that wasn’t a good year for me, and I felt as if we re-met each other this year and go to know the better, and tough versions of ourselves. I am excited to watch you grow through college and work towards of your dream of teaching, “yoga” ;). You are a very intelligent woman, and beautiful through and through. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with me through your words and your actions. Love you Shay Begaye!
