What took us so far??

Remember the time that we were so exctied to start school, the morning we had to wake up so early; but it was so easy. It was such an exciting time for us. Everything looked so big and riding the bus... oh that was a total joy, it was when we felt like everyother real grown up kid that went to school. The fist grades is where we made new friends and were able to have fun all day. Sometimes not even wanting to go back home. It was a new beginning for us and we loved it. As the years went on we also moved on, to junior high where things started getting a bit harder and more of a chore then a fun time away from home. We knew that the first grades were done with and that there was an even bigger place that we wanted to get to... High School... but that took work, so we worked and like before and always life kept going forward. Even without that backward glance at what we have accomplished. We were finally in the big grades, thats were everything happened, or so we thought, school stayed the same as always and we wondered, "What's so great about getting here, sure we have more options and things, but is it really somewhere everyone wants to be." From there on we either dragged ourselves to school or had someone do it for us. But thats how it is everything gets bigger and harder for us, those that reach that place or time. 

Now as Seniors about to graduate, we look at where we've gotten, and what we've acomplished in our lives. This is when we really take that big long look at the past and how we got here. Those exciting young years in the beginning all gone and that easy way of life so in the past. Thats how we wonder, "How had we gotten here so fast, when in the beginning we knew that another eleven years awaited us." Thats how things go by in our lives, we might think that we've just started a job, but before we know it we've worked there for two years. So those preciouse twelve years have gone by us so quickly that we don't even know how that could have happened so fast. But we go forward into life and now we have to start our own lives and start a new beginning, which will also end and we'll start that all over again. 

There really isn't a way to change things, so you just have to get used them being that way.   

Thats how we get here.
