Eighteen

 At age 18, you are graduating. You are 5'8" tall and weigh 120 lbs. 

You were accepted into all the colleges you applied to, Mississippi State, Auburn, University of Alabama Huntsville, and Purdue Motorsports in Indiana. 

You didn't go to prom in the 280ZX, because it is still incomplete, but it's come a long way, and I sure hope you come home to help dad finish it up.  You went with friends. 

You have roommates lined up to go to Auburn and you still plan to major in Mechanical Engineering, but you waiver to Marine Biology once in a while. 

You still have had no girlfriend that you have brought home to us, but I hope it won't be long. 

You listen now to different music besides rap; some older bands dad has introduced you to.  

You are hugely into photography at the moment and have had some gigs. You met a kid who came into the store and took a picture of his car.  He asked if you would do some more but he didn't have money to pay you, so you bartered. He gave you airsoft items you knew a friend would buy off of you from school and made $150.  You also had a gig with a guy who has 2.9 million followers on IG.  You took some pictures but mainly learned how to network and put yourself out there and you met some cool people. 

You work at Pet Supplies plus and have talked about getting a pet snake.  You also say you don't know how anyone could do a job where every day is the same.  You mention that the store has a 94% turnover rate, and you don't know how because all you have to do is show up and do what you are asked. You have a great work ethic. They love you because you show up and do your job. It is a rarity these days. 

You also got back into skateboarding a bit. 

You can't wait to visit Japan in June for your senior trip and almost every day I hear how you can't wait to move to college.
