Last Thoughts Before College - Thursday, September 18, 2003
Today I had my last meal with my family. My mom asked me if I would like anything special, but I said leftovers would be fine. Still, it was one of the best meals I've ever had.

Mixed feelings bounced through my head as I rummaged through my belongings, packing everything I'd need. "I'm going to college!" I thought. "But I'll be leaving home, missing everything I've known for 18 years." ... "But it'll be a great experience." ... "I'll be on my own." ... "That's bad." ... "That's good."

I know I'll be missing my family, my friends, but at the same time I'm ecstatic. It'll be a new life, a new experience. But that's what we do when we try anything new. College is, after all, just one of the many stepping stones on our journey. Onward bound!
