self declared graduation requirements

i had a recent discussion with my roommates about requirements to graduate from high school should include playing a sport, or being a part of some sort of team. high school is a time where you learn much more than just trigonometry and about the cold war; it is a time to make mistakes, to learn who your friends are,  and all about personal responsibility.

high school was a crazy time of my life (like im sure most of ours was), but while it was not always peaches and cream i will never regret the experiences i had because it made great memories and i am a better person because of it. luckily in high school i had the chance to be apart of quite a few team things, but that doesnt mean looking back  there were a few things i never did that i always wanted to do, and now will never get the chance. yes, sneaking out was one of them.

this time i am having a new experience that is very very different than lafollette. this time its called college. college at byu nonetheless. and this time i am making sure everything on the check list gets done.

i am a strong believer in memories. they are all we really have. a life is only made up of memories, so why not fill it with great ones.
