Remembering 2011

Man, what a year that was. 2011 was a great year. The end of junior year was awesome. I went to prom (my first one) and it was so much fun. Talk about a dance. It was really amazing. I passed junior year with flying colors, somehow managing to hold on to my 4.0 GPA. The times were fun, the days were short and life was good at the end of junior year. Then came the summer...man was it ever a busy one. I had barely gotten out of school, it seemed, when I was on my way with the church to New Orleans, Louisiana for a week of mission work. We got back and I barely had time to rest before I was on my way to GSP for the remainder of the summer. As I reflect on that summer of 2011, I always think about what I would've done if I hadn't made GSP. How would my summer have been different? Would I have had a job? How much time would I have spent doing things that I wanted to do? Who would I have met? Who would I have forgotten? Would relationships have been ruined? Would they have been made or repaired? There are so many unanswered questions from last summer, and sadly I won't have a chance to answer them. But then, before I knew it, GSP was over and I was back with all my family and friends and other various and sundry loved ones. Then the start of my senior year. What a whirlwind. No one could believe that we were now seniors, least of all myself. But I made it through the first semester, everything is going amazingly. And as I start this second semester I know that everything will continue to be amazing, through graduation, prom (again), and the start of college. I know 2012 will be a great year.

And so we go.
