Rain

It's raining today. When I woke up this morning and looked out the window I thought, Yes! I don't have to mow the lawn now! I really do like rain. The sound, the smell of it, how it falls to the ground. Except when it's storming. I don't like storms. Rain brings life back to the world. It's like a big wake up call for everything. Today, I think the rain gave me a bit of a wake up call. It gave me new life in a sense. I don't know why exactly, but I feel different. In about 5 weeks, I'm going to begin my senior year of high school. Everyone says high school goes by fast; now I know what they mean. While it is kind of bittersweet to be starting this journey, I know that it's far from over. New things are going to be happening. My life doesn't stop at high school. If it did, that would be really bad! At this point, I feel like I'm ready for this. It's been a good ride, and now it's almost over. So for anyone else who is at this point, I hope you are ready for this too.
