Graduation brings reflection on the good ol' days

It's been 12 years since I entered the public school system here in Moses Lake and now I'm finally being set free. Graduation is on Thursday and I'm more excited now than I've ever been. It's starting to feel real for the first time all year. As the date gets closer and closer, I start to reflect on all the good times that school has brought me, as well as the not so good times. But all in all it's been a pretty good ride and I'll be ready to let it go when Mr. Balcom hands me my diploma on Thursday evening.
