the time has come
I know its a little late, but better late than never!the day has come, part 2 of 2 of this blog post includes my graduation. The past 4 years have definitely been a whirlwind and I have triumphed tremendously. Although this moment and day is so very bittersweet, it is also so liberating. I am excited to see where life takes me, i am excited to grow and mature, i am excited to help others and come back to my community. Now less about me and more about these few amazing folks you are about to read about. I did not expect to cry cause truuuusssssst I was ready to peace out. But as I stood up to receive my diploma I saw my English/Theatre teacher and I broke into tears, but quickly held it together. I only teared up and broke down when i saw the people that helped me and so many others along the way to get to the place where we all stood today (June 4th). To make a long story short, these next few people are so important and vital to my life as to getting me to the place i was fortunate enough to be.
dear oscar, oscat, oscar carbohydrate, carobjal,
oscar, you were honestly the first friend I made at firebaugh, and quite frankly the only person i'd talk to when i was sad and bitter about everything. In many ways you helped me overcome the sadness that comes along with moving. You made me laugh and talked about things I enjoyed discussing. I have watched you grow into someone so talented. I am extremely proud of you and happy that my first friend at FHS will be attending CalState LA with me in the fall. Im serious about carpooling even though "you do not like the way i make my turns" I love you oscat, okay, thanks for all the cool things you've done and have to offer.
dear kerry,
my sweet kerry. words can not describe how beautiful your spirit is. I am so honored to call you my friend. You have always been such a creative girl, i aspire to be like you. Continue to be fun and creative in your future, there needs to be more genuinely sweet and creative people like you to make this world brighter.
dear erick,
i absolutely hate you, you are a complete pain, but luckily you are my pain. I am so happy that you have shared my last year of high school with me there is no one else id rather share it with! You have helped me through this last year in ways that you will never know. Thank you for being like family to me, and most of all thank you for the support. I'd do anything and everything for you, i know anything is not enough, everything is not even close to being enough to how grateful i am and how much i love you. I will be right by you side til' 3005.
dear ms hummus, Thomas (soon to be Butu)
I want to write you this meaningful letter, but i honestly do not even know what to say to thank you for all the effort and hard work you do. You are my hero and inspiration. Ms Thomas you care so much and i only hope to care as much as you. Thank you for making me a better student and always being around to just talk. Those moments in your classroom whether it be lunch, after school or actual class time will be the moments i cherish the absolute most. Most of all Ms Thomas, thank you for caring, caring so much and so deeply and so passionately. I will truly miss you and no one will ever replace you, i love you Kate!
