Me at the End

Wow, the last blog entry. I didn't think that this time would fly by this fast. Not just this class, but all 6 years of my Whitney Young experience. This class has fortunately been one of the highlights in my high school career, as far as classes go. I am a bit sad, but I am much, much happier that I am leaving Whitney Young and going to start something completely new. College is actually the first really new thing in my life for quite some time and I am excited to dive right in. Of course, I want to savor the long summer break that it around the corner (school doesn't start until Sept 26),  but I am looking forward to all of the opportunities that will pop up as I start college this fall. After 6 years at Whitney Young and several summer programs at colleges across the nation, I feel prepared to leave home and "move" out to California. I do feel a bit anxious, but I'm guessing that's because I am about to join something so much bigger than myself. I have the feeling that I want to try to do a bit of everything and it's starting to be a little bit overwhelming. I just have to take each day at a time and find a way to settle into college. I've had a great experience at Whitney Young and it will be interesting to come back and see what has changed. Thanks for the class, Mr. McCarthy!
