At school on Monday, I decided to tell Kelsey the big news about the letter from Harvard.

I spotted her studying by a tree on the front lawn during free period and ran over to her. "Hey Kels," I said, out of breath, "I've got amazing news from a college!"

"You did?" she asked excitedly, "What school?" I smiled so wide, the excitement was bubbling inside me. I couldn't keep it in any longer, so I half shouted, "Harvard! I got a full sports scholarship!"

"Really?" she asked, "that's so great! I'm proud of you Spence, I really am."
"Thanks," I said, "but there's just one thing I don't understand. I never applied to an Ivy League school, let alone Harvard. Did you know about this?"

A sly smile spread across her face, and immediately I knew she sent in an application for me. "Why?" I asked. "I had to!" she said, "I couldn't watch you wait anymore! I knew that Harvard has a great football team, even though they're known for spitting out lawyers and not star football players, its a really great school and getting a full-ride is the opportunity of a lifetime."

I guess I had to think about it more, but I really wanted to go to somewhere like University of Florida or Clemson. But Harvard's classes are really good, and to go there would look great on a job resume if I don't do well in a football career. We'll just have to wait and see.

We finished off our conversation, and I left her to study while I went to the gym to play ball with my friends.

*1 Month Later*

Its finally graduation day. After 4 years of hell, I can finally escape, to go back to school. Yay..

Kelsey, on the other hand, was very excited. "Just think," she said, "In a few short months, we'll be in Boston." I went to pick her up from her house so we could get to the school on time, and our families went separately.

"Yea..." I drifted off. I still haven't decided if I'm going to Harvard, and I haven't heard from any other schools yet, which is awfully strange. In fact, this whole "going into the world" experience is strange. Oh well, I guess its normal to feel weird about this.

We're adults now. We can make our own decisions, and live our lives freely. Once I get that diploma, I'll be what I never thought I'd become: a real adult. I just hope once that happens, I'll make the right decisions on what happens next.
