My name is Emily and I am a senior in high school. I live on a lake and am an only child. I enjoy hanging out with friends and playing sports. Next year I plan to attend college, study biology, and run track.

**Change** The time approaches in our lives When we must choose which path to follow. Often what proves difficult to swallow Is plunging headfirst where the unknown thrives. Although the ending of a chapter draws near, The story has only just begun. Our courage shines bright as the sun Though fleeting fears will fade and appear.

We may become anxious for the change, Just like Jonah in the whale, Afraid that relationships will turn weak. We see this mountain, tall and strange, But with strong friends that do prevail And through persistence will we reach its peak.
