Thoughts on Graduation

To Daddy, Mommy, and Laura

Today was a day of mixed emotions for me too, my graduation this morning reminded me off all of the problems that i had throughout high school that i either created for myself or that others created for me. It also reminded me of all that i accomplished throughout the past four years and all that i was able to overcome. Listing to my classmates this morning thank all that supported them, teachers. and friends. It made me think of how i was able to get to this point in my life that i was at this morning and i didn't want to thank anybody but my parents and my sister.

Everything that I have accomplished in my life is only because of my family. I don't believe i would have graduated this morning without the continuous support that you all have given to me. When you never gave up on me when i gave up on myself, when you respected me when i didn't deserve any respect, and your continuous support for me doing what i love means the world to me. You have been there for me, in all my failures, and in all my triumphs. I thank you for that.

Nothing that i learned in school could even compare to what you all have taught me in my life. I look up to you all. I respect you all, you are all my heroes, and most importantly you are ALL my best friends. I consider myself lucky to be able to call you guys those things as most family's cant.

I don't think of today as an end to anything. I don't see the clock running, i see it just beginning. I see many great memories but i also see many memories to come. To mommy and daddy you have taught me and Laura so much and we will continue to learn from you the rest of our lives. To Laura you have given me more than you think you have. You have always been there for me when i needed you. If i ever had a problem you would be there, if i just needed someone to rant to you would be there and if i just needed someone to cheer me up you would be right by my side and you have been the best sister that anyone could ask for.

I owe everything to you all. I couldn't have done this without you. I know that I will always look up to you, I will always respect you, You will always be my heroes and you will always be my best friends You all mean so much to me and i wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I wouldn't be who I am today without you all and I know we will always have a good relationship no matter where life takes us.

Love you all so much
Adam
