The Next Chapter

As I type this graduation day is looming over the horizon. The day I have waited for since my first day of school is finally here. In a mere matter of days I will be walking on that stage getting my diploma. I will be ending a chapter of my life and beginning the next. In less than three months I will begin my college education at one of the best universities in the nation. I cannot begin to express my excitement. In a way, though, it is odd that I would end up at UF. I remember how almost all of my life as a teenager I dreamt of going to Boyce. It was my dream school and all I talked about. I remember arguing with my friends about UF and how I would never apply there. After the prodding from a very dear friend, I decided to apply on a whim. However, once I started to really examine the school I knew in the very core of my being that this was the school for me. Despite it's bad reputation for various things, I know that this is the school that I belong at. I don't think I have ever been more excited for something than to go to UF. Yes, I am nervous and scared at times but those feelings have no comparision to my eagerness. God has truly answered my prayers. =)
