I was a freshmen
Scared and small
I slammed my locker
On that September day
Then the next day
I was in a new grade
I was suddenly a senior
Making my way
Just like that
I was no longer so small
And just like that
Freshmen year seemed so far
As I made my way
To graduation day
I tried so hard to not cry
For saying goodbye
Would be the hardest part.
We threw up our caps
We paraded away.
And nothing I said,
Could change that day.
We hugged our teachers, our parents, and friends.
For on that day
Our life truly began.
School was all over
College was a night away.
We packed up my bags,
That September day.
My mom began to cry,
My dad held it in.
For they knew I would be
A car ride away.
They watched as their
Daughter drove away
To start her new life
At college that day.
