Nerves

High school. Freshmen. Three Days. In three days, on Wednesday, I'll be starting high school. I go back and forth between being excited and being nervous, but I think that I am mostly nervous. It's a new place with a lot of new people. I'm being pushed out of my comfort zone and into a whole new world. With that comes a lot more experiences and opportunities. I'm looking forward to the freedom and the friends. I'm not looking forward to the homework and the stress. It's hard to believe that I am starting high school. I know it's cliche but kids just grow up so fast. I know that it's strange to be saying that about myself but I remember when I was a big sister for the first time. And the second time. Now, Margaret and Grace are 11 and 7. Treasure every moment because you can't get any of them back. Each moment you spend mad and upset is a waste of that moment. Every minute, every day, every month that you live is a gift from God. I need to remember that as I start high school, follow my own advice. It'll be strange, it'll be uncomfortable but it's one step closer to growing up and one step closer to becoming who I want to be.
