Well guys, I'm finished!! I am officially no longer a high school student... But neither am I a college student. Stuck between two trapezes, as a line from a Coldplay song reads. So, yesterday, after writing my final period that I will ever write in high school, and after twirling around my room in ecstasy, and after collapsing on my bed, I reflected on what has happened to me through the years. First of all, simply the fact that I completed high school left me in shock, and then everything I've been through in my high school years. I started playing volleyball in my freshman year, and I can remember so clearly the first time I ever walked into that gym for the first practice. Some of the girls I met that day are, today, my best friends (I particularly remember this chipper girl named Bethany who pushed me through my first practice ;) ). Then the year after that, my sister left for Taiwan, and, frankly, that was one of the hardest years of my life. Bethany has always been my best friend; someone I can talk to no matter what (however she mocks me. Hah), and letting her go was one of the hardest things I've ever done. But, if she had never gone to Taiwan, chances are, I would never have gone to Taiwan, and my trips to Taiwan have been some of the most life-changing experiences in my life. I've met so many people there, people whose friendships I will treasure forever, and God has shown me so many things about myself through those trips. One, that I would ever have the courage to fly across an ocean on a 13 hour flight, sitting next to a complete stranger. Two, that I could get over my shyness, and actually have relationships with the people I met there. And three, that I can trust Him to get me through anything. I mean, if He can get me through Chicago's airport, from one terminal to the other in half an hour, when I've lost just about all of my hearing (don't go on a 13 hour flight when you have a cold... Just sayin...), JUST in time to board my flight, He can do everything ;). But seriously, I will treasure those times in Taiwan forever. And last of all, I want to acknowledge my parents, who, even when I was the most difficult person in the world (which I was quite frequently, unfortunately), never left my side. They always guided me back and stuck with me. Thank you so much. Y'all are the best parents in the world :) I've done things I regret in those four short years, but I've learned from them, and God's given me the grace to move on. Thank you to everyone who supported me through the years, and please pray that I'll have wisdom regarding my future. But for now, I'll hang out in the gap, between the two trapezes, and trust God to guide me.
