THE END

...no more highschool...

all the CCS drama...not my problem anymore.

all the cynical attitudes...i don't have to fight anymore.

all the passionless fakes...i'm not surrounded by anymore.

but,

all the amazing teachers i've loved...i don't get to learn from anymore.

all the theater...i'm not a part of anymore.

all the people...i don't get to love on anymore.


will they remember me...probably not...
...the question is is Christ more evident to them because of me.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant."
~ Robert Louis Stevenson

"During my second year of nursing school our professor gave us a quiz. I breezed through the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was a joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper leaving the last question blank. Before the class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our grade. "Absolutely," the professor said. In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve you attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy."

"We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee."
