So tomorrow morning I will start my third year.....not of elementary, middle or high school but of college. It seems just yesterday that I was starting kindergarden crying to my teacher about being away from my parents. That will be fifteen years ago tomorrow morning. So where did all that time go? What have I learned? But most importantly I ask who have I become and what difference have I made? Fifteen years ago cell phones were the size of cars and now they can tell you more than you could ever possibly want to know within a second. Fifteen years ago the price of gas was a $1.25, which is a third of what it is today, at best. Fifteen years ago Bill Clinton was winning his second Presidency term. A lot has changed in these fifteen years but I am still Zeb King. I am so different yet still the same. I still enjoy each moment of life for everything it is worth and I still believe in my biggest dreams. I once heard Michael Reno Harrill sing that, "The Journey Is Where Your Going But Also Where You Have Been" and this could not be any truer. I am just a small town kid with the ability to set goals higher than any sky scraper man can build. Everything I have done in my past, both good and bad, have made me the person I am today. I still go at each day with as much enthusiasm as I did from day one. I have been taught to love and love unconditionally and this I try to show each day. I realize how blessed I am to have the best family and friends I could ask for. Life is hard at times and it will knock you on your ass time and time again. It will push and shove you until you fill as if you cant take it anymore. You just can't stop fighting regardless of how hard it gets. We all learn throughout our lives but many forget important lessons (including myself at times) that could really help us out. We try to loose sight of our childhood at times which is the key to the future. Kids in my opinion are the smartest group of individuals we have. Kids are full of questions, ideas and most importantly the possibility that ANYTHING is possible! They can teach us that no goal is to high and no problem is unsolvable. They are full of belief which makes all things possible. Belief in God and yourself are two ingredients that start all great things. God is all around and always accessible. He is love and bleeds love for each of us. He believes in us!
So here in a few more hours I will be walking to class but at the age of 20 and not 5. I will take what I know and use it to ask many questions tomorrow. I still have no idea what my future my hold but I do know where I have been and who I am. I will try to show my passion and love for life to hopefully inspire others that feel they have lost theirs. But most importantly tomorrow morning I will still be a kid without a fear because I know that I still have the ability to dream and accomplish anything that I set my mind to. Our possibilities are endless as long as we give it a shot of everything we have! So I encourage everyone to wake up tomorrow morning and say why not and go after the dreams they have been holding back from because if you do not go after them, then no one will!
