Day One:
I arrived in this strange place with many things in hand. It was one of those dreams where everything was familiar yet, not familiar at all. What a strange feeling I have inside my stomach. They call it butterflies, I call it anything, but. A lot of what I saw looked pretty cool but all I could do was wonder how it would all work together and what my role in all this was. I walked around and even though the air was breathable, it was a little difficult to catch my breath, but it appeared that nothing was going to explode.

I wasn’t melting, I wasn’t freezing, and I began to think that everything was going to be ok. Day One began the night. I had to go to sleep early which to me, meant the end of something good. But did that mean that something else wasn’t going to be just as good?

Today, I started with breakfast and a rush around the house to make sure that I left on time. This guy, he looks intimidating, but I’ve heard he’s really good and fun. I may even know him already because I’ve had a brother or sister who was in his class some years ago. Wow, this is Mr. Petris’ class and here I am. I’m in it. I’m in his class.

Before you know it this entire year will have passed in front of your eyes. You will say to yourself, where did it all go? Hard to believe. You will have had a great time and although beaming for the summer to come, feel melancholy because you will be leaving, forever. Savor this moment. Take it all in, slowly. Enjoy every day. Embrace these butterflies that you feel inside because they will help to make you fly.
