Skylar S I often wonder what happened to some of my childhood friends. Where are they today? Are they happy and successful? Are they even still alive? That's why I like FB, because a lot of times you are able to track childhood friends down and reconnect. But if they're not on FB, then it's very difficult to find anything out about them. I had a lot of really strong childhood friendships. I spent all of elementary, junior high (as it used to be called) and high school with the same group of kids, because we all lived in the same area in the same neighborhood. You literally grow up together. Then it becomes difficult when they start to move away or go away to college. 13 years together with the same kids. I guess that's why people attend their high school and college reunions...to reconnect. Good times and great memories from my childhood school days. ♥️

Extraterrestrial Horse I'm glad my words really mean something to you. I had a great childhood, had lots of really good friends, and I miss those days a lot. And when you're growing up and enjoying your classmates, who are also your friends, you don't realise how important they end up being one day. You don't think about it during that time, and take it for granted. It's years later, after everyone has moved away, that you realise how valuable they are and how much you miss them. It's not common for someone as young as you to realise this at just 17 years old. You must be an old soul. All I can say is, value your friends and make a real effort to keep in touch after high school with the ones who really mean something to you. You are fortunate, because with today's technology, it's extremely easy now to keep in touch. Lastly, enjoy every minute of your youth, because it goes by mighty fast. I did listen to Ed Sheeran's song, " Castle on the Hill". You are right...it is exactly about those wonderful childhood moments we all end up missing dearly.

Once I was seven years old, my mama told me, “Go make yourself some friends or you’ll be lonely.” Once I was seven years old. It was a big, big world, but we thought we were bigger. Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker. By eleven we all wanted to grow older quicker. And all our lives we couldn’t wait until our senior year. Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me, “don’t live your life too fast or you’ll regret it.” Once I was eleven years old. I always had that dream since my freshman year, to walk across this stage and hear all the claps and cheers. I don’t know what happened but now I’m right here, it all went by so fast and now it just seems so surreal. Now we’re seniors we’ve grown, and I want to thank everyone who came in my life and made my school a grapevine. Now we’re seniors we’ve grown… I know the future’s scary and it’s [hard to be many] because all the possibilities, Lord knows they’re so many. But no matter how it goes, I hope that everybody knows that you all mean so much to me I know my future goes. Soon we’ll be getting our degrees and we’ll have our own house keys and we’ll be telling high school stories to our families soon we’ll be getting our degrees. And it’s a big, big world, we may not all stick together, but I know that every one of you, I will remember. And I won’t forget how you changed my life for the better, so I won’t tell you goodbye, I’ll just say see you later. Now, seniors, look around, we’ve made our parents proud, we’ve worked so hard and now we get our cap and gown. Now uh… seniors, look around. Now, seniors, look around, we’ve made our parents proud, we’ve worked so hard and now we get our cap and gown. Now, seniors, look around… Once I was seven years old, my mama told me, “Go make yourself some friends or you’ll be lonely.” Once I was seven years old, once I was seven years old…

The lyrics tore straight to my core. I just graduated high school in 2020 and my graduation got pushed back multiple months to the point I wasn’t sure I would have it. We did in the end, and this video just encapsulates what high school is all about. You’re forced to be around people you wouldn’t normally be, but you learn from each other and grow together. There’s a special bond formed from being around each other every day at that age, and this man’s beautiful voice and lyrics portrayed that perfectly.

I dreamed of walking across the stage and getting my High School Diploma. Unfortunately life had different plans for me. I had to drop out in my junior year. About a year to a year and a half later I got my GED. But my scores weren’t high enough to get into the university I wanted to go to, so I have to go back to take it again. I’m 20 years old. My mother tells me to go to a community college for a year or two then try and transfer. The thing is if I do that then I’ll be setting the bar too low for my own expectations. I need to push myself to do better. I never had it easy growing up. All my friends would say differently(except for one or two I let in) because I put up a wall and made my life seem great to everyone else. I have ADHD. Most people think that ADHD is just an excuse or not real or whatever. But I can tell you that it’s a real struggle for me. I also have MDD and BD. I’ve struggled in school and growing up. No one really understood me, and that made everything worse. On top of the fact that one of my High School teachers said something that will stick with me forever. “You will most likely never amount to anything. You can try and try but some just aren’t meant to make it anywhere”. That was a real punch in the gut. But one thing I was so determined to achieve was getting my High School Diploma. I never planned on going to college. But some part of me feels empty, and that started when I dropped out. I had no choice but to drop out by the way. I kept changing schools in two different counties, I was homeless for months. The schools kept messing up my credits, some were “lost” and some just disappeared. So instead of repeating everything over and over I left. I hope that void I feel will be filled eventually. I plan I going to college to get my Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice. Don’t know what I’ll do after that, but I’ll figure it out one way or another. I just know that it’s going to be a nonstop struggle for me for the next 4-5 years. If I ever make it back here I want to tell my future self something. Life may suck right now, but look how far you have come. Do not give up. Keep your head up and focus on yourself. If anyone tries to tell you that you can’t make it don’t ignore them. Look them in the eyes and tell them everything you have gone through. Tell them the struggles you have faced along the way. Tell them how you didn’t quit, or feel sorry for yourself, tell them how you kept moving forward and how you’ve overcome every obstacle you hit. You can do this. Just believe in yourself.

it was so good I stared to cry
