11 Days!

Time really has flown the past 4 days! I can't believe that it's been only 5 days since my last day oh High School. And Although it was the next day, I feel like I just graduated YESTERDAY. 

 This week was blur. However, there have been so many memories made that, I'll never forget this past week. Yesterday was my graduation party. It was fantastic to catch up with some people who have been in my life for years, but we have been so busy over the past few that we haven't seen each other much. It was also great to spend some extra time with the friends and family I see all the time, before heading off to Thai and School. 

 

I actually didn't take any pictures yesterday. I was too busy taking to everyone. However I have some pictures from graduation day and project graduation. 

BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS HELPED ME CELEBRATE MY GRADUATION! 

PS Picture Overload! 

Tj and I have been friends since the day he was born. Although we both have our own group of friends we will ALWAYS have each-other's back. Love this kid!

From the Day I learned that there would be a girl named Alyssa in my 3rd grade class I told my mom we were BEST FRIENDS, even though I hadn't met her yet. This statement became 100% true on our first day of 3rd grade in Mrs. Finneran's class. Alyssa will always be my BFFL. No matter how long we go without seeing or talking to each other we are always able to pick back up were we left off. I can't wait to visit her at Liberty and her me at Becker. 

3 Good Friends!

This kid...Truly one of the nicest guys I've ever known. Ben has always been there for me. Not matter what. No matter who was or wasn't looking Ben has been there. He will do anything for anyone. He is just like that..an amazing person. I'll never forget in elementary school when you would NEVER bring anything with nuts, or peanuts in for lunch, just so you could sit next to me. And then the was that one day your mom accidentally sent you in with a pb&j sandwich and you were SO upset because you thought I would have to sit all alone..l Ben your an amazing person.

 

I don't think any words can explain our friendship. Stacey and I are so much alike that we would never be able to live together, however we are so different that we are the bestest of friends. Stacey has been there for me anytime I needed an ear to listen to me.  She stood by my side as all the other girls walked away. She Is the reason I made it through middle school without doing anything too stupid. More importantly she is the reason I never dropped out of High School to get my GED when I just  wanted To give up. 

"Samantha- My pen pal who tried to kill me in 1st grade by making me a peanut butter sandwich."

It started out as bus-stop buddies and ended as Best Friends!! Simple as that!

Grandma Alice- I love you so much! I wish you could still understand the world around you and verbalized what you are thinking. I wish you would mumble unh your breath and yell at me for burping loudly at dinner. I wish so much you were able to listen and follow your own advise to sit up straight and walk with your back straight and head held high. I wish you could tell me more stories about your reason, your experiences, your family, your husband, your job, your life. I wish you could tell me your secret for fighting cancer numerous time. What kept you strong. I wish we could still spend our nights playing "war" or "kings in the corner" or even you teaching me how to play bridge. I wish you were still able to read my summer reading books and then tell me what they were about. Or even able to finish my extra  credit word searches. I even wish you could do it all even if you still didn't know my name. Most of all I wish you could understand the because of you, because of your strength, your courage, your knowledge, I graduated high school. I love you so much! You are truly the strongest person I know.... And one medical miraical! 

We pinch,we slap, we bite, we fight... We steel eachother's clothes, we gang up on eachother we are downright mean to eachother... But that is only a quarter of the time....

Most of the time we bond. We laugh, we cry, we talk, we walk, we run and we handstand it out. We love eachother and that's all it's about.

You are me Faith,

You are my hope

You are my constancy

And every day I am thankful to god, I am thankful to my father, I am thankful to my mother, I am thankful to the kill shelter you came from. I thank thankful to them all for giving me you. Molly you are my life.  You and I have a bond that only you and I will share. In just the two short years of adopting you, you have figuratively and physically saved my life. I hope you don't forget how much I love you while I am at school. I don't think I'll ever feel safe or "get used" to sleeping "alone". I love you so much words can't even explain. Some days I'm not even sure why I deserve such an amazing thing like you. 

A picture with the Erin. Friends since Kindergarten. Or your can look at it as a picture with an AUTHOR! Erin I am so proud and happy for you on your book. I can't wait to brag to people that I went to school with a famous author!  I will be sure to spread the word of your book, Summer, and every other book you write!

What a day!

Today was my last day EVER of high school. It was bittersweet.

  After my New Student Orientation at Becker this past weekend, I was/am so ready to be done with high school. I can not wait until graduation tomorrow! However, I will miss my teachers who have become more like friends to me over the past four, more like three, years. Here are a few little "shout-outs" to the teachers who have really made the past 4 years the best they could be!
Coach G-Thank you for all your support in everything. Also thank you for putting in races that you could have put someone faster in my place. Thank you for giving me the courage to try new things and teaching me to "suck it up". I can't wait to come and visit you and the team at swim!!
Coach/Ms. C- Thank you for EVERYthing that you have done for me over the last 3 years. From staying after school with me so I can finish a test to giving me the confidence that I could swim the races Coach G put me in.  Also Thank You for always lending me a listening ear when I needed it and giving me advice when I needed it.
Ms. P- Thank you so much for being well, just you. I really didn't like you or your class  at the beginning of sophomore year, however I did begin to like you by the end of november. Your an amazing person, and the only reason I hated your class Junior year is because of the people in that class. I did truly miss taking a spanish class this year. I'm really gonna miss ya next year.  And I can't wait to See you in Argentina eventually!
Mrs. B- I know you weren't here this school year because you were on maternity leave, however, I am still going to miss you! I wish I was able to have one more year in math with you! Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into our class my Junior year. I actually learned, understood and retained 90% of what you taught! Thank You! I hope my sister has you as a math teacher next year so you can have all the "Hillman Sisters!" I plan to come back and visit you!!

Ms. M- Although  Sociology was not my favorite subject to study, I really enjoyed having you as a teacher!!  I really wish I coulda had you again my senior year!! Your and awesome person and i can't wait till you adopt a kitty from me one day!! Thank you for everything! 

Mrs. P- Thank you so much for all you taught me this year about health care! I LOVED your class so much! It was my favorite class that I have ever taken. I actually plan on taking a similar course in college.  Thank you for an amazing class! I wish you could be at graduation tomorrow!

Ms. B- although you NEVER spelt my name right...ever Prob and Stat was a lotta fun! It also keeps me from having to take it in college!! Yay one less math class! Thanks for a great year!

Thanks to a good friend i've been able to get an idea of what to bring. (Thanks Aussie!) I actually was able to pick up a few nice inexpensive sport shorts at Michael's today. Now I've really gotta work on finding t-shirts and and tank tops that I want to bring.  It's kinda sucky that most of my tanks and t-shirts are all dark colors.
