Be Thankful

Wow, being a basketball athlete throughout just about all of my high school career and to finally see that I will no longer be playing basketball anymore with my team/sisters is indeed very stressful for me. Imagining graduation day I will soon loose my sisters, my friends, my teachers, and my school. They would definatley be there spiritually but dealing with this type of situation is difficult. I am unable to share a simple hug or a grand high five. It's very scary but being able to feel that no matter what college I intend on planning to go to excites me because I know I will miss my high school memories, friends, and teachers. Yet they helped me realize what kind of individual I am and I actually like myself! Hearing and knowing that I have numerous other individuals who will help guide me through life frees all the stress that has been weighing down upon my shoulders and for that I would like to thank every single one my high school friends and teachers. If you believe that you have no one or you feel no one will be there for you, think again one more time. Think of the time when someone opened the door for you at a restraunt, or smiled at you and said "hi". That individual cared and was willing to improve someones life. That is why I believe it is the right thing to feel thankful as much as you can, especially feeling thankful of the small things.
