Thinking...
Jun. 12th, 2002 07:29 pmIn a thoughtful mood.
Two more days of school left. Two days until I graduate...still can't believe it. My life is changing so much. I don't know what'll happen next. I...I'm almost scared. Scared of the change. But...I'll make it through.
So much has happened during this school year. Barely two weeks after we got back to school, 9/11 happened. I still remember everything vividly. I was in Reading class. My Reading and Social Studies teacher, Mrs. Caracappa, came into the room (she had gone out for a few minutes) and said that one of the World Trade Center buildings was pretty much destroyed. I couldn't believe what I heard...and I was scared to hell. We found out it was from a plane crash. I thought "maybe it was just an accident.." but...then the news of the second WTC being hit came. I knew then, it wasn't an accident. It was an attack on the U.S. My first thoughts were to the Middle East...and I guess I was right about that. Living in NYC, it was chaos...and I just didn't know what to think. My classmate...his mother...was in the second WTC building. After the first plane hit, she called to say she was alright...but...when the second plane hit... ::sighs:: She...never came back. I really feel bad for my classmate...but he's made it through.
Then I had to take the Coops..the tests to get into a Catholic highschool. It was long...but I did well on it, and got accepted into all the high schools I applied to (one with honors!). My birthday was really nice...I got to spend it with my friends at NYDS and at a Japanese resteraunt. Can't get much better than that. Then it was all basically just normal school. Ring Day was in January, we got our school rings. February passed...March...April...May...and now, June. We've finished all our state tests. And now...we're going to graduate. And to think...I might not see some of my classmates anymore...and that we all won't be together ever again... After so many years...it's down to these last two days...
