We Will Be Fine

I walked in the gym. 8:30 in the morning. The desks all arranged in nice, neat rows and lines. Students walk in, with pencils sharpened, minds ready for their impending exams. We have our midterm exams before we leave for winter break every year. I remember my freshman year, sitting down in that gym waiting for that first exam. As a freshman, that first midterm exam was new, exciting and a little bit intimidating. The gym seemed huge and I looked around at all my peers. It is funny how time passes so quickly. Walking into that gym to take midterms for the last time, the gym seemed a little bit smaller, the test taking process was not nearly as intimidating as it once was. I am now moving into the second half of my senior year. As a freshman, this time seemed so far away, but it is here now. These next few months will go by quickly, but I will make sure that I live them to the fullest. This senior class is transitioning into a new chapter of our lives. And it may be a little intimidating like that first midterm exam I took as a freshman. But after a little while, we realize that it’s not that scary. We realize that we can face this challenge like all the others before. And we will be fine.
