The moment has almost arrived. The moment that I have been so excited for has now been transformed into a feeling of nervousness and sadness. In 24 days, I will be moving away from the town I have grown up in and moving to Logan, Utah for college. Yes, I am very excited to move on to a new chapter of my life. But, I am going to miss all of the good times I have had over the last 18 years in Orderville.
Orderville will always hold a soft spot in my heart. I have grown up here, met so many amazing people, went to school here. I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. It feels so strange to be packing up all the things I have accumulated over the years. It does not seem like it should be time for me to be moving away from my family and living off on my own.
Where has all the time gone? It seems just like yesterday I was starting preschool. I can remember how nervous I was to step my foot into that classroom and see all the little kids running around. I just wanted to stay home and be with my mom. That is all I wanted. But once I began, I never wanted to go home. I made friends that would last a lifetime. And I finally felt like I was loved. Of course I felt loved at home. My parents had shown me the most love that anyone could ever ask for. But to finally meet new kids and make friends was such a different feeling. I remember this feeling like it was yesterday.
Over the years, I have made friendships that will last a lifetime. I am so grateful for all those people who have cared for me, supported me, and befriended me. I will miss every single one of them as I move away to a place that seems so far from the place I have grown up.
In 24 days, a new life will begin. Yes I am nervous and yes, I am very sad. But it is finally time for me to gain new experiences, new friendships, and new knowledge. So college, here I come!!!!
=) I Love it!!!
