I am not sure if I can stomach the reality of today, my last "first day of school". You mean I am supposed to grow up soon, do amazing things with my life, make real decisions, and know what I am doing. I remember countless nights before my first day of school where I would delicately lay out my first day of school outfit. I would hang it up to look like a real person, place the shoes and socks underneath, and draw a face on a paper plate to complete the ensemble. Falling asleep was always a challenge as I would fall asleep with butterflies in my stomach as I anxiously anticipated the coming year.
This year was a bit different however, I failed to make a paper plate face, I picked out my clothes this morning, I slept fine, and I had nothing new to wear. However, true to tradition here is my picture from this morning and a vow to never stop learning, to challenging myself in everything I do, to give back and use the knowledge I have gained to bless others, and to forever to promote education. And who knows maybe this isn't my last first day of school, perhaps a PhD will be in my future.
Hooray! Soon you will be master Mills. What awesome bragging rights!
ReplyDeleteGraduation will be a happy time this spring! I hope you have a great "last" year!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!
ReplyDeleteI still don't know what I'm going to do for school (If I'll keep going), but I hope you have a fab year! :) New clothes you don't need at the beginning of the school year. Just buy one outfit every month, and then throw an old one away that you never use :) thats what I do!
ReplyDeleteOh man. I have my last first day next week and I'm sort of feeling the same way. Good luck. You'll be awesome!

ReplyDeleteYou never have to grow up. Pretending you are a grown up is much more fun! Maybe you will be Dr. Mills one day! You rock girl and we are so proud of you. Way to go both of you!
