i'm just out to find the better part of me....

As my senior year begins to slip away....

 

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

 

When you first become a Freshman, people will tell you 

"savor every moment, high school goes by so fast!"

well, they weren't lying.

It seems like yesterday when I walked into my first period class late, on September 5, 2006.

I remember it perfectly, because I was super embarrassed, and I already wanted high school to be over.

But from that moment on, time seemed to have a mind of its own.

I have gained friends, lost some, and a little of both.

And finally, after four years of high school, i've learned something that I wish I would have realized that first day of high school.

You can't judge people based on the way they look, or what you've heard.

Senior year has opened my eyes, and I look at people with a completely different perspective.

Maybe it's because last week I was assigned to write an essay about myself, 

and then share it to the class.

Not only did I learn that I don't know who I am, but the way people opened up during their presentations fascinated me.

I had no idea that the people, who I had known since freshman year, had so much to offer.

I never took the time to be open minded, and I regret that now.

It could also be because when I attended the Talent Show last Friday, that quiet kid who always kept to himself, completely blew the croud away with their guitar and vocal skills.

I know that everyone has a little good and talent in there somewhere, it's just hard to see when you don't open your eyes.

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet

Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

It's not easy to be me.
