a summer farewell

*written on my new bb 8520

This summer was supposed to be the culmination of my chtdhood; those years in which I
reveled in the notion that a second chance always awaited me, demonstrations of
irresponsibility and vice were common, and I felt entitled to treatment and luxuries which
I had not earned. I fell back on my natural ability far too often; only more frequently did I use my words and
Position to offend.

That was my childhood. And quite frankly I'm proud of it.

But at the same time, I've learned from it-grown from it (or out of it). This summer has been without a doubt the launching pad
From which I begin my ascent to that perch I've had my eye on for 4 years now. This summer, I've realized
That my life, my legacy, truly begins. In three months alone, the stakes have been higher than ever before, the reults likewise.
Effort and innovation will determine my outcome.

Effort. And Innovation.

Farewell childhood - farewell summer.
