So. School starts back up again in a little over a month. I have not read any of my books, nor have I gathered any supplies, or even thought about beginning to prepare myself to jump back into the swing of things. This being my final and most important year of high school, should be the first thing on my mind. I regret to inform you that it is not. Oh sure, I'm excited to be rounding out my high school career and plunging into the 'real world', but I am attempting to milk the summer for all it is worth - everything. This will be the last summer that we are all together. From here on out, we are all different, changed people. The innocence of childhood is scarce 'round these parts, and we are all slowly discovering that nothing lasts forever. Now comes the time to set an example. Now comes the time to accept responsibility and take charge of our own lives so that our heirs may learn the many lessons that we learned from those that came before us. It is a valiant task that we face, but someone must do it. I accept the challenge with open arms and hopeful disposition. But for now, let us enjoy the remainder of the last summer vacation of our high school careers. Good luck. .Map
