When I watch
you walk up the steps with all the Seniors cheering you on and welcome you to
high school, the memories flood back like an raging river. It was literally just yesterday that I went
on the same special journey. I walked up
those steps and through that door with enormous hopes and dreams for my future.
I now have the same hopes and dreams for yours.
You walk through the doors such a different
person than I was in some ways and exactly the same in others. You know that this is the turning point: the
moment in time where you will be forever changed.
There is no going back, only forward. A future filled with uncertainty now lies
ahead like an empty journal with pages to be written.
The lesson here that you don’t not know is that
you hold everything you need to walk that journey in your hands.
There are some things that are worth holding
tightly like your morals and values and individuality. Never let those go.
And there are some things like your friendship, your
love, sensitivity and warmth that I hope you learn let go and give away freely.
First days are filled with such anticipation and
nerves. Don’t let that get the best of
you. You hold everything you need.
Love always-
Mom
