Today was the first day of high school for me.  I came from a private Christian school, so experiencing public school for the first time was a major culture shock!  When I walked in the doors this morning, I felt butterflies of excitement as I thought of all the new opportunities that awaited me.  I thought of opportunities to be a light to others, opportunities in singing, and opportunities in academics.  Most of all, though, I am excited about football games, getting involved in school, and making new friends.  Some of the best advice that I have been given is to just enjoy the journey.  You are only in high school once (hopefully, haha!), so it’s important to just have fun!

Thankfully, I did not get lost today, and I knew where all of my classes were!  Getting lost was my biggest fear for the first day.  Also,  I knew at least one person in each of my classes.  It’s always nice to see familiar faces as you walk down the hallway or go into a classroom.

During the journey of making the decision to go to this high school,  one of the main things I learned was to live in daily surrender and remember that God is the author of my story and it will spoil it if I try to look ahead.  I’m just going to trust in Jesus whatever may come my way as each page unfolded to me!
