Each year thousands of students pass through their high schools doors for the last time before their reunion. At first I thought this year is my year to become one of those thousands but it's not. Yes, I will be passing through this hallway one more time but I know it will not be the end. I know that as many of those nearly nameless students never turn back, I will. It is a part of what brings us together at my school, our determination to step out of tradition, to stand out, and to stand up when no one else will.
So now as I sit in a busy classroom staring at the outside world I will quickly will be thrown into, I am not scared to leave my friends, mentors, and family. It seams that as I watch the world is rushing by yet to pick me up in its flow but the water is rising now and it wont be long, but lucky for me I have always loved to swim.
