From Here to There

Here is where my cousins and I climbed onto the hay bails and jumped

from bail to bail

Here is where I would go fishing with the boy scouts during the yearly

family scout camp

Here is where people in my class were tricked into believing the sixth

grade girls’ locker room was haunted

Here is where I got my first job as a projectionist at the Gateway Theatre

Here is where I got my liver transplant during the second semester of my

eighth grade year

Here is where I got my first car--a ‘92 Oldsmobile Cutless Ciera S

Here is where I started my freshman year of high school

Here is where I made a lot of new friends--some of the weirdest people

I’ve met

Here is where I backed up into my chorus teacher’s car during my

brother’s graduation reception

Here is where I started my final semester of my high school life

Here is where I will finish my high school life, when I walk across the

stage

Here is where I will say goodbye to all of the friends I’ve made

throughout elementary, middle, and high school

Here is where I will start college to major in culinary

Here is where the start of the rest of my life will begin.
