Top 10 things I will never forget about High School

· All of my wonderful friends

· My favorite teachers

· Walking the halls of Holbrook High

· Playing basketball, volleyball, and softball

· Homecoming week

· The dances

· Walking around when I was supposed to be in class

· All of our crazy conversations at the lunch table

· The class of 2012

I am truly going to miss High School and everyone here. Overall I am ready to graduate but I know later on I will be saying "I miss high school". This is the time where we have to start growing up and becoming more responsible. It’s time to go out on our own and start experiencing life. It is our time to spread our wings and start flying to our goals. If we all put our minds to it we can do what we want to do and want to accomplish. So next Friday is the day we say goodbye to our old high school memories and everyone who is still there. It is time for us to move on and look forward.

          As for me I will be looking forward to be playing softball and going to school at Paradise Valley Community College. I am pretty excited for this. I’m going to be playing the sport that I love at the school that I want to go to. I am thankful to have so much support from all of my family and friends. If it weren't for them I wouldn't be where I am today.

          With this said I just want to say congratulations to my class of 2012!

Here's to New Beginnings!

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."- Seneca 

Paradise Valley Community College, my next destination in life. This last weekend I had the opportunity to try out for the PVCC Softball team and I can gladly say that I am now officially a PV Puma! With my high school softball career ending abruptly and not on the best note, I felt as though softball would just be another weekend gig with me playing on a co-ed team. Yes, we would be the team of old people pretending that we were still in our teens...until the next day when we couldn't even walk due to stiff bodies. Then, I decided that softball means a lot more to me than a one-day-a-month experience. Along with most things in my life that I care deeply about I told myself that I could not let it go that easily. I would fight for a chance to play again, to be a part of a team once more, and to do all I can to help fulfill a team's potential. Just as High School sports were a new beginning that stemmed from the end of my Jr. High career, college athletics will literally be a whole new "ball game." I feel blessed for the chance I have been given to play again. The feeling of accomplishment fills me once more and I feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that all my extra days spent on the pitching mound, extra balls hit, and extra mental preparation are not going to waste. I now have to begin a new life of extra time spent on the field, if I want to prove myself again. I know that this is possible and I am willing to do all that it takes to make this new dream a memory that will stay with me throughout my life. It is reassuring to see that with every end a new beginning is born, and with every new beginning another story of my life begins to unfold.
