Jacaranda Simone

It All Ends...

Wow this is really it the last day of Smash21.

This campus is going crazy right now, everyone is crying, oooh look at her she got it bad.

What can I say this has been an amazing experience for me and I really dont want to leave.

Jacaranda is in her dorm room packing up all her stuff  with tears coming down her face. Mona is on the other side of the room sitting on her bed watching Jacaranda pack crying.

" I dont to man like you my sister and now we seperating" Mona said hugging Jaca.

" I know mona this is where the test comes in to see if our friendship can last this seperation. You know I love you and you truely are my sister in Christ".

" Mine too okay okay enough tears ( stop hugging and wipes away tears ) hurry up we gotta meeet the gange and reminise on life at Smash.....hurrry"

" Im coming".

After Jacaranda got done packing she and Mona left there room for good. Outside by the Smash tree met Justin, Mona, Saliesha, Careena, John, B.j, Deena,, and Micheal to say there last goodbyes.

" Yo I can't believe this is really it we leaving eachother man" Micheal said.

These are all my new found friends in Christ and I dont want to leave them.

I never thought I would come here and fulfill a dream and grow so much more in my faith in Jesus.

Omg is it me or does B.J have a boogie.....oh its not just my imagination.

" Me either like yall my fam no matter what" Mona says.

" I still can't believe Jaca got up on that stage and sung by herself like and it seem like yesturday all that work we had to do to get her to go on " Justin said.

The group all stands there and starts to think of that day.

" I can't do it ....I can't don't make me go on that stage" Jacaranda said in a panic.

" Look you have to this is the last part of the program" Justin said.

" Jaca you will be fine, just take a deep breath and get your butt out there and sing, we will be right here or out there one of them just sing' Mona said pushing Jacaranda.

" Guys this is the whole campus and our teachers. Professsional broadway award winning teachers no, I can't I wont"

" Your getting on that stage" Saliesha says.

" Okay your right I just gotta get myself together okay everybody turn around for a minute and let me have a minute"

Everybody turns around and waits patiently for Jacaranda to get her self togehter when a minute pass B.J turns around and sees Jaca climbing the rope up to the stage balcony.

" Jaca get back here guys grab her" B.J" says.

" No....No"

As Jaca seen them rushing to her she got in a panic and fell off the rope onto Careeena's head.

" I'm okay" Jaca said getting up very dizzy.

"Careena you okay"? Justin says.

" Yes I am " she says in a very angry tone.

" Im sorry Careena, okay Im gonna do this guys"

" Yes you are, you got into here for a reason you need to stop doubting you and stop doubting God in the talent that he gave you. You know what you doing get out there and do it" Mona says turning Jaca toward the stage.

Jacaranda looks up and begans to talk to her father Jesus Christ because she knows she can do all things threw him. Then the host for the show calls her name and she stands there as the light goes searching for her. She reaches her foot out on the stage ....

" Man that was a crazy day, Im telling you" Justin said.

" My favorite thing about this whole experience was growing in Christ and watching others grow. God is so good and he knew how nervous I was about coming here and disconnecting from him. This was a whole new enviornment for me but he sent me others who want to grow and who is on fire for him. The bible study's, prayers, confrences was one of my favorite parts about this...Ima misss yall so much" Jaca said as everyone gathers in a group hug.

" We never gone forget each other because we all have a common denominator My main man J to the esus" B.J said as everyone starts to laugh.

" Jacaranda Simone...Jacaranda Simone " The cab driver yells.

" Well its my time to go guys I love yall"

As I walk to this cab I think back on everything.

Singing for the first time in front of my new classmates, or getting on the stage by myself.

Or The fact that I serve an amazing God.

Jesus knew what he was doing when he sent me here, this was an experience to last a lifetime goodbye Smash21 Hello Philly.
