That Thing Called..... HOMECOMING

Last week was homecoming. Wow! What a week! All sorts of fun festivities to do. Think about it. I am a SENIOR, the head honcho of the school. We should have enjoyed that week.

            So much stuff happened, we had cowboy day, superhero day, think pink day (which consisted of powder-puff and the grudge match), duct tape day, and then spirit day. All the days were great, looking at all the kids that you would think that wouldn’t dress up, actually dressed up. Coming out of their comfort zone and everything.

            Oh boy! The Powder-puff and Grudge match were great! I loved watching the boys try and play volleyball; most of them were tall enough they didn’t have to jump to spike it, but then you had to lonely freshman that could barely get it over the net. I participated in the Powder-puff game, it was a blast, yeah we lost but who cares. There’s nothing like having to be on crutches after wards. (So like I said in one of my earlier blog, hoping that I wouldn’t get hurt so I could play basketball, its kind of out of the picture now)

            I’m proud of my friends that made the homecoming court and I am super proud of Sam and Marcus that got king and queen, they deserved it.

            Football, is kind of hard to understand, yes, but when you have the SUPER FAN telling you what’s going on, makes it a heck of a lot better. We won our game against Elk-Horn Kimbleton Exira, (to bad I don’t remember the score.)

            I’m glad that I am not going to far away from Van Meter School, for college, I will be coming back to watch all the fun next year!

TODAY

            Today it is hard to decide what to write about. I find myself distracted by new things. I want to go out and experience life instead of sitting in front of my computer writing about it. Life can be short so I feel the need to live it to the fullest. Now the next step is to decide how to do it. What do I want to do? That is the question that is running through my head constantly.

            Think about it, there are things out there in the world that I haven’t experienced. Not only because I am only 17 but also because health, money, and unplanned life events. 

            The unplanned events so far that have happened in my life right now; well, I am currently on crutches because of the powder-puff game. I’ve been sitting here waiting for my MRI results. Not knowing if I can play basketball or not is really killing me.

            When I was younger I really wished that I could experience a lot of things. Such as, going to the movies with my mom and dad, going out to eat, hanging out with friends and such things. My family hit a bump in the road, when my mom was divorced; she became a single parent of three, which is hard to do when we need all the things to survive.

            Three years ago, I gave up every sport, just because I knew I had to stay home with my mom to make sure she was safe from all the toxins in her body. She was diagnosed with lymphoma, which changed my way of looking on the world. All that I can think about is, not knowing that I am going to be getting this disease or not.

            I hate how life is so unpredictable, even though that’s what makes life interesting.
