Graduation

So I graduated today, and it wasn’t until Maggie’s speech that I realized this isn’t the end, but the beginning.
It is not easy to be done with school, being done means that I move, and when I move its painful. I came home today to a messy house, which gets packed out tomorrow. I mentioned my way of living earlier this week. It was the last time I will get to see my friend Phil [for a while...until I get to meet up with him, which I plan on doing]. Hopefully we’ll start our podcast too…
I have 12 more days until I come “home”, which despite it being a country I know, and was born into, it still seems foreign, and away from everything I know and love.
When I started writing this post I didn’t know where it would go, but I guess this is where it ended up going, me talking about leaving Germany…
I love my school, I love my Senior class, I love Germany, I love downtown Wiesbaden, I love the food court, I love Starbucks, I love the bookstar, the movies, everything that makes this place what it is…
To me graduation is the end of that, and the beginning of a new adventure, it makes me feel excited, nervous, anxious, and sad at the same time.
Congratulations to the Class of 2006, and their new mission. I look forward to hearing about others lives as they unfold, and look forward to sharing mine here.

Hey man.
Just be glad that you didn’t have to move before your senior year. That was really hard for me. Yea HH arnold was an awsome school with awsome kids and mostly awsome teachers. Moving back to the states is tough but you will get through it as I did. Not a day goes by when I don’t remember and think back to the awsome times at wiesbaden. Those memories will stay with you forever. You will find that a lot of things will remind you of wiesbaden or Europe. sometimes I would just get fed up and say to myself “This sucks Wiesbaden was so much better” and although I agree with that statement a lot, I think its important to be open minded and ready to meet new people and build new relationships. let me know when you guys are back, we should hang out on the weekends before we head off to college. Take care and good luck with the move.

Thanks a lot Scott. I really appreciate your input on moving, since you did leave a year before most other people. I look forward to hearing about how you are doing in the months to come as we all go further apart.
