Due Respect

It has been so long since I last wrote. Not even because I didn't feel like writing. For a good chunk of time I haven't had anything to write about. Now I feel like I got something though.

Everything and everyone deserves respect. Some gather more public respect than others. But everything deserves respect. Take cheer for example. Tons of people take it as a wimpy excuse for a sport, but as I've learned during homecoming rehearsals, it takes balance, courage, and dexterity. Take synchronized swimming. I personally see it as extremely difficult, but other people might not. I find it unbelievable that synchronized swimmers can perfectly time their movements with their teammates, forming complex patterns. Take the people who fold clothes at departments stores, like Macy's. I have no idea how they can stand folding so many clothes in the same pattern over and over again. I would explode. And I don't know how they fold each and every one so perfectly. I tried to fold just one of my clothes like that, and it didn't work. So I'm going to take a moment and pay all due respect. To Everything.

Anyways, life has been good for the past 2 weeks or so. This season of Saratoga waterpolo is coming to an end which disappoints me. That's rather ironic. I distinctly remember in the beginning of the season i disliked waterpolo this year and wondered why I played the sport. Those thoughts are far behind me. I'm very much looking forward to the next year, but also the break. School is going well. I love sophomore year. It's not that much work, but I'm not a freshman. Good stuff. Choir is great as always. Since when has choir not been great?

I've also been thinking about my friends that are already in college. In a couple years they'll be considered adults, and later on, they'll go out in the world to start their own lives, start their own families, find jobs, go places. It seems surreal to me but that's exactly what will be happening in a couple of years. It's insane. For myself, in just two years I will be out of high school and off to college. I can't believe how time has passed. I'm both apprehensive and excited about my future and what it holds in store for me. Whatever may come, I remain optimistic about my present and my fortune. The future is bright.
