everything happens for a reason, i do believe that we all serve some purpose on this earth. i do believe that circumstances are not always under our control, they're planned by a higher, more potent being.
i've always wondered why i couldn't have been in the grade below mine, where my age would have fit in. where i wouldn't have been asked if i had skipped a grade every time i said my age, i would've just blended in.
this past week, however, with the presentations of our interests in class, i've come to see a different side of my peers. a side that makes me appreciate them each so much more. as human beings, as individuals. they are all such radiant people inside and out; i know they will go places.
they surprise me with their intellect in class, they confound me with their absurd endeavors out of class. more than that, conversations i've held with almost everyone linger in my memory and help me characterize them for the distinct personae they uphold.
through these projects, however, i've been re-inspired and reminded of why i like them as peers. it's like that week after camp when i know that humanity isn't totally lost, except this is on a wider scale.
as much as i bitch about them every now and then, i love them and will miss them more than i thought and i've only come to realize that this past week.
i'm lucky as hell to have gotten to know them; i am convinced that's why i'm in the grade i'm in. i wouldn't have been able to connect with any other age group or admire any other group of people as i do my current peeps.
