School Story:
I will never forget our wonderful Senior assembly, written by Andrea knell Draper.
I was very sick with bronchitis. I wrote a song to end this very serious "play", called "Goodbye Friend". By the day before I was to sing my song, I had full blown laryngitis. The day of the assembly, my Doctor gave me a BIG shot of antibiotics and told me not to use my voice for a week. (I was never very good at being told what to do! lol!)
I have never prayed so hard in my life. Up until the very moment I was to sing, only a tiny "squeak" would come out of my mouth. I remember when the time came to sing, I felt an incredible "energy" around me and then go into my body. When it came time to sing, even I was shocked at how clear my voice came out!
The wonderful little miracle lasted until the song ended. The second the song was done- my laryngitis returned. The tiny squeak was back.
I have many funny, sad and proud moments from my High-school days, but I will always remember 2 things. The day of this beautiful assembly and my little miracle, and the many wonderful, loving and amazing friendships I still treasure to this day.
High-school was a rough time, made great by REALLY great friends. Thank you ALL, my friends, for the memories!
