Change

I just woke up from one of the coolest dreams I have ever had. In my dream I was back in 6th grade. I woke up and went in the kitchen and my mom was there holding a baby (Wilson). My teeth were hurting from my brand new braces and I told her I wanted to go to school. The next thing I know I was at ERES back in my exact 6th grade classroom. There were things in there I had forgotten all about but they appeared in my dream. I had all the knowledge and memories that I do now but I was in a 12 year olds body. I saw my friends! I took my seat beside that skinny little tan boy that I knew I was going to grow up to love. I wanted to hug him and take a picture of him with my smart phone that I somehow snuck back in the past with me. I wanted to tell him that he looked so cute but then I realized 6th grade me would have never been so forward ;) and I didn't want to alter the future haha.  I had to do my daily writing assignment, and Mrs. Barron was being annoying just like she always was. And then... I woke up.

That dream was just what I needed. That was a great time in my life, but it was a time of great change. I was about to change schools, lose friends, make friends, be challenged, and find out I wasn't as cool as I thought. And through this dream I realized that I wouldn't go back if I had the choice. I love my life now. I love being a "grown-up"! I am glad I don't have braces. I love hugging that boy and knowing he loves me. I love how it all ended up!! I am graduating college!! This is a time of great change, but when I look back on my life the biggest changes have brought some of the best things. So I went to bed dreading this change but I woke up excited and encouraged! So bring it on world in the kindest way possible please... This graduate is ready to see what is waiting on the other side!
