Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
It's here. My life is somehow packed into two suitcases. I have my clothes, my xbox, my diploma, cards of well wishes, a check from the mom, and cash from the dad, and I'm about to move to Houston.
Talk about life's big moments not hitting you til its too late. I cant believe I'm not gonna walk down High St., or play with my dog, or have my family a simple car-ride away...for two years.
This is awesome. I feel like TinTin Adventuring across America. And since I only know TinTin from Jay's ridiculous shirts, I guess I just feel like a cartoon character about to wake up from a dream caused by a freak piano falling from the sky.
Houston. I wonder what ittl feel like when I get there. I wonder if ittl feel like home right away, or whether it will take a while. I wonder how many awesome people I'm gonna meet. And I wonder if this is really my chance to change the world. And I wonder if I'm up for it. I certainly hope so. There's not just me riding on this now. There's a whole class of students from the next generation depending on me to be strong, to set the rules and tone of the class to forge an effective learning environment while still being caring, friendly, and approachable enough to build trust and respect at the same time. How? There's a whole class depending on me to teach them not only what's in their textbooks, but what they need to know about motivation, goal setting, perseverance, heart, respect, and self-determination. How?
Well I don't know. But for the first time in a while, I'm really fired up. I'm ready to pour my soul out all over these kids, like it or not, as weird as that sounds. I'm ready to really give my all to bettering their lives, to give them the opportunities they deserve, and to show them a voice rising out of all of the useless, degenerative hoobllaaah, to tell them that the can and will succeed beyond what they've ever dared think is possible.
I may not know the whole how yet, but I know that WORK is a big part of it. And if there's one thing thats worth working for in this world, it to make the world a better place for the next generation. I have the chance to do that.
And
I
Will
Houston Here I Come.
