A Memorable Senior Night

Last Thursday was my senior night, it was an amazing and memorable night. I know that I'll never forget the friends I've made on the cheer team this year. They've accepted me for who I am and helped me become who I should be. One of my best friends, Breanna read a speech for me. It was really touching and in the end we were both crying. It was at that very moment that I realized I had found a true friend and St. Joseph. I realized what a true friend is and how I need to be there for my friends like they have always been there for me.

After the game I had plans to go on an adventure with a few people, I was really excited and was looking forward to it all day, but after Breanna's speech I realized that I needed to be there for my true friends and decided not to go. I had other obligations that I had been ignoring. I was about to make a huge mistake that I would probably regret for the rest of my life...and I know most of you will think I'm a horrible person for even thinking about going out with these people and I completely agree. It really is the smallest decision that makes the biggest impact on your life and I knew I needed to do what was right.

So that night I decided to go visit my best friend Corbin who I've known for as long as I can remember. His kidneys were failing and he was released from the hospital that day after having a second surgery...I knew he would need help getting around and would just want the company. After the game I drove to his house with a tub of his favorite ice cream (play-dough). When I got to his house he gave me a huge hug and then told me he was too sick to eat the ice cream which was kind of a downer because who doesn't love play-dough ice cream?... so we  put it in his freezer for later. We ended up staying up until 2 in the morning just talking about life...I was so glad I came to see him and if anything it made my senior night more memorable...So yeah it was my senior night and I was really looking froward to being with everyone from school, but I'm glad I saw Corbin instead because I wouldn't give up this night for anything.
