Me At The End

I had meant to write this blog on time for symbolic purposes, but that didn't work. I am happy I waited. The wait allowed me to be more thoughtful about the topic. I am a good thinker, but not a good writer. I will not be able to fully express my feelings in the way that I had hoped, but I am quite excited to write this  blog.  This topic  is the best thing that I could write about at this time in my life. I am leaving Whitney Young High School and headed to the Ohio State University. It is an end of an era, but also a beginning. It is a bittersweet feeling. I love Whitney Young for everything that it has given me and would not trade my experiences for anything on Earth.

The best way for me to think about me at the end is the thing about how I was at the beginning. I have never been one to completely put my feelings out there, and that will not change now. I would like to keep the past in the past and continue to look forward as I go on in my life. I can say though that Whitney Young taught me a great deal about people. I think that the thing that I will value the most is the diversity. I met some of the coolest, most driven, beautiful people over the course of my four years. Words can not begin to express what I feel when I think about my last four years. I am grateful that I made the choice to come here, and even more grateful for those of whom that made my stay what it was.

In case you read this, Mr. McCarthy, I want to thank you for a GREAT year. I was not the best student in your class, but I hope that you enjoyed my stay in your class as much as I did. I learned a great deal about philosophy and enjoyed the conversations that we had while in class.

I like the idea of keeping a blog, but I doubt that I will ever write in this one again. If all goes as expected, this will be my last post. For anyone who reads my blog (I'm guessing only Mr. McCarthy) Thanks for the support, and I hope the best for you.

Until whenever, goodbye. It's been god
