Choice Sheet

I will graduate from Akins in a few months, but that only marks the beginning of a new chapter. I plan on attending The University of Texas at Austin and being a Longhorn. Sadly I won't live on campus; I'll be living right at home. At UT I plan on majoring in Athletic Training, however, that's very likely to change. College hasn't even started yet but I have already changed my major a good four times. Life is a mystery to me at the moment and I have no idea where life is going to take me. Everybody wants a successful future, but that means nothing to me without happiness. Anyways, I hope that my grades continue to stay up and I'll enjoy the remaining of my senior year. Life has passed by a whole lot quicker than I thought, but soon enough, I'll be walking across that stage and done with high school.
