the door

“Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open.”
Alexander Graham Bell
Dear student,
Here you stand on a new threshold. The door behind you is closing. It is closing on the last four years of your life known as high school. Everything you have learned and known; every day seems the same, same friends, same class rooms, same schedules, same teachers, and same life. But now you have the privilege of shutting that door and jumping through a new one. Sadly, on the other side of the new door is a world of the unknown. New campus, new friends, new schedules, and new teachers. What meal plan what dorm, the unknowns are endless. But you need to jump through this new door. You cannot dwell in the past. You must live in the present and look forward to the future. I am not saying you cannot look back into the past and smile, but do not dwell in it. You must graduate and move on to the next stage in your life, whatever it may be. Good luck and God speed.
“It's the end of the world as we know it
And I feel fine”
