Growing Up

So lately I've been looking at my the Facebook profiles of my friends from high school and I just can't believe how fast time has gone by. It seems like just yesterday I was sitting at the lunch table with laughing and joking around or walking to class with them. Man how things have change! I have been trying to track down my high school year books for nostalgia purposes and I know that they are in my garage but the question is "where?". I went to 3 high school in my high school career, "Thomas Jefferson in Decatur IL 3 months my 9th grade year, Palisades Charter High School in Los Angeles CA from 9th grade to 11th, and Lely High school my Senior year in Naples FL. My junior year and senior years of high school were the best, I had the most amazing friends and they are some of my best friends! I look back on those two years and I see how much things have changed some much since then. We are all grown ups now. Some of us have gone off to collage and graduated and started amazing careers , Some moved away, some joined the Navy, Army, or other form of Military, some have gotten married and had babies, Some have gone on amazing adventures and mission trips through out the world, we have all gone off and done our own things. WE HAVE BECOME GROWN UPS!! Looking back I remember seeing my life playing out in a whole different way but what can I say I was young. I had the dream of going to Harvard and becoming a lawyer with a background in forensic studies, well needless to say that didn't happen. But on the brightside I would not change the way things have turned out for anything in the world. From time to time we run into each other or message each other on Facebook or Twitter and we ask each other how the other is doing and then say "We should hang out some time." which is always a good intention but with schedule conflicts and a million other things it never really works out. Out of all the people I miss from high school I miss my Cali friends the most Slade, Devin and Elisabeth. They got me though a rough patch. They were there for me when my other friends abandoned me due something stupid.  Because of them My Junior year of high school was a total blast! They actually helped me learn to be myself. Looking at things now you can really tell that we are all grown up!
