Have you ever had a moment in your life where you knew nothing will ever be the same again, a moment in your life where you realized, discovered, learned, or became something new? Everyone has one of these moments, for some more unique then others. I knew exactly when my life changing moment was going to be but didn’t know exactly how I would react.
Many may call their last four years of school their best ever, many may even compare it too hell. I call it my last four years of fun.
