Trouble that would make me angry

Anger that stemmed into more issues

Issues that would ruin relationships

A new quarter gave way to new grades

Grades that showed a better attitude

Attitude that helped mend and begin new relationships

Year's end brought summer memories

Memories that soon would be clouded with preparation

July brought new friends and adventures

Adventures that began to give me a new outlook on life

Life that had at one point seemed so average

Average was no longer a term to describe new experiences

Days filled with adventure turned to days filled with preparation

Preparation for the upcoming ten months

Months that would be filled with countless new experiences

Applications that seemed daunting in comparison to the cheery college chatter

A letter that would ease all worries

Worries that college would never come ended

An ending that brought the beginning to life after high school otherwise known as college

Headaches from the constant stress of the ending of the first quarter

A quarter that could start to make or break graduating

Graduation that seemed still so far away

 

December brought the holiday happiness

Happiness that changed everyone’s moods

Corrections that will further me as a person

A person that is ready to learn new lessons
