6:15 AM. My alarm clock rings. Just as I am about to get up, I realize I do not have to get up yet, I have no first period. My hand hits the off button as it has every other day of the school year. I lay back down and turn to face the right side of my wall. I see a collage of pictures which I started collecting as the year progressed; Homecoming, football games, Prom, the musical, the dance concert, and many more. After reminiscing about the photos on my wall, I turn to face the left and there is my acceptance letter to the university I wanted. I laugh a little as I remember how panicked I was the beginning of my Senior year. Filling out applications, searching for scholarships, AP tests and every other situation that all Seniors face. Now in June, everything has come together like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle and my future is set. 6:45 AM. Now is the time to get up. I drag myself up from my comfortable den and stretch. That is when it finally hits me. My sweater says Seniors 2008. I am graduating.
