Little Buddy Off to College

The past few weeks have been ccrraaazy.

Seriously.

It seems as though they flew.

One of the big events was sending Bannon of to college. 

(Can you believe he is 21?) 

It seems like only yesterday the kid was at his prom!

Since school has started for him I have gotten so many texts saying how much he is loving Mass. and how he is really enjoying school and learning. 

A few mornings ago I woke up to a text that told me he had sent me an email and that he wanted to know what I thought.

This is what I read.

"Who Am I" 

I stand in front of you today

and you wonder “Who am I”

Well let me give you a glimpse

through my own two eyes.

Just 3 weeks in the past and 21 years

I was born into this world while my dad cried quite near.

Now if ya'll can't do the math

That was on August 27^th

And we sit here today on September 11^th.

Born in the state of Washington

But Arizona raised

The green grass I never saw

And those grasses I never grazed.

1 brother, 3 sisters

An athlete I was sure to become

Though I played all sports

None felt the same as with a hockey stick as my gun.

As I stepped on the ice

I knew it would be my life

Though it was a tough battle

I knew I could fight.

It brought me here to Becker

In the fall of 2012

I'm here to play hockey

But into my education I wish to delve.

My decision for my major I just keep fighting

I know it's between psychology

Or possibly creative writing.

For my future I don't know

I'd love to play hockey

but I'm not gonna stand here and sound so cocky.

I'm slowly but surely leaning towards writing

Even though psychology

is at my heel roughly biting.

The study of the brain to me is quite intriguing

Though I'm sure the study would be quite fatiguing.

At the beginning of the summer

my creative mind started to grow

And the idea of a book started to flow.

My mind began to race as I started to write

it even kept me up night after night.

The story of a man

I dare not wish to be

I won't go into detail

because right now, the story is just for me.

So now as I end my story

I wish you all well

Because with the story of my life

I'm sure I bored you all to Hell.

 Not bad uh?

It was for an assignment for class.

I cried my eyes out.

I couldn't be happier for my little buddy! 

Way to crush it Ban!

xoxo.
