To whom it may concern,

I can see it in your eyes you are tired of 6 a.m wake up calls, taco tuesday every week, the job you had since freshman year, I get it you are tired of the same routine you have been doing for the past four years. I can tell you want to quit, run miles away to start your life over before it has even started. I know you are questioning if staying to get your high school diploma is worth all this stress, I get it your tired.

Do NOT give up on yourself now, you have a little less then three months to go. I promise you this, you deserve to walk across that stage to shake your superintendent's hand. You deserve to feel accomplished, proud, ecstatic and overwhelmed all at the same time. No matter what struggles you have endured during this time of your life, it has made you a stronger person. Let that "piece of paper" be your strength to keep pushing forward. That "piece of paper" is you gateway into this world.

I walked in your shoes tired, afraid and filled with questions like who do I want to become, where do I want to go, where will I end up, and most importantly who will be their to catch me when I begin to fall? It is questions like that should make you want to keep pushing for your diploma. Why? A week before graduation they are going to hand you YOUR cap and gown that you EARNED, and the moment you try it on... You are going to turn around and catch a glimpse of yourself in your bedroom mirror and realize multiple things all at once.

You will realize that waking up at 6 a.m five days a week was worth it, taco tuesdays are a thing of the past, that job you held for the past four years will help you become independent when you leave for school. You may be undecided what you want to do for the rest of your life or who you want to become, but as you stare deeper into your bedroom mirror... You realize that no one truthfully has a long term plan.

Seniors take these last few weeks and soak them in, keep pushing forward, now is the time to start focusing on you and who you want to become as a person. I promise you those 6 a.m. wake up calls will soon be over, that job you had all threw high school will be receiving your two week notice very soon. College is waiting for you and it holds wonderful things.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
