Wow.... I graduate a week from today. It doesn't even seem real. I have been here for so long it seems. Most of my life spent in school. My school experience has been... well it hasn't been good. Always cast aside, never had any friends; I cant say it was because I was shy and quiet because, I am the loudest person i know. It was my behavior and lack of self worth and self control that held me back for making friends and being invited to social gatherings.
It took me till a year ago To figure out what I needed to do to change. The main thing was finding a goal; something to work for that kept my high energy and active mind occupied. I found a career path, and then I found friends. People who can talk to me because my crazy is focused on things other then finding friends and flirting with boys, People are attracted to people with purpose.
My life has taken a huge turn for the better. I have hope for my future. I have been running and working out and learning. I know a little about a lot of things. from land navigation to Army history. I can run 2 miles in 17 min 49 sec, do 62 sit ups in 2min, and 27 push ups in 2min. A huge improvement from never running, doing 5 sit ups, and not being able to do any push ups.
It feels like my life starts when I leave (31 days from now) and I can't wait.
I am really going to miss my friends that I have had for such a short time now but, I am now ready to start my life.
