As everyone clapped and cheered for me, I made my way across the stage to receive my diploma. As I shook Mrs. Porter's hand, gave her hug, and made my way back to my seat something truly hit me. Not only was today my last day as a high school student, but it was also the last day that I would see these people. Even though my best friends and classmates would be at my graduation/ birthday pool party tonight, it was still one of the last times that I would see everyone. After all, I leave for Los Angeles tomorrow morning. With this said, saying goodbye was and would be a very hard pill to swallow.
