Number One Best Moment In 2016

May 18, 2016, Graduation Day

The number one moment I would say is the best is my graduation day, which was on May 18, 2016. I will never forget the day I sat with the class of 2016 and walked across the stage when Ms. Bih Gamnje called my name, "Leielt Azanaw." On the other side of the stage were NJROTC cadets raising their swords when I approached. Reason why? I was a part of the program in high school. I was so happy. My family screamed my name from the audience,"Go Leieltya!" As family and friends cheered for the class of 2016, everyone was so happy.

Not only was my graduation the best moment in 2016, knowing all these wonderful people in the past couple of years and now graduating with them is a great blessing. Everyone I truly love and call friends is not in the photo, but they know who they are.

I never thought I would have gone this far. Without my friends, I never would have made it. I made memories I will never forget.

Other Moments That Are The Best

Every day I've spent on this earth is the best moment in my life, not just in 2016. Yes, there may be times when I have my worst moments. For example, when I was cleaning and somehow dropped my iPhone 5C into a bowl of milk, which I find quite funny. Since my phone dropped into milk, my speaker barely works, but my phone is still somewhat in shape. Time for a new phone in 2017. Don't you agree?

I've got to say I'd enjoyed my years at Friendly High School. I was a part of the Academy of Health & Bio Sciences, and I'd learned a lot. I loved the class and had known these Patriots of Friendly for quite some time.

Even when we don't really keep in touch with each other anymore, they are still family. I know God has a plan for them. Whatever God has planned, I bet you it is the greatest plan of all. Best wishes!

Nyack College, Nyack, NY

Finally, I've been a part of the Nyack College family! I am now a proud Warrior! Ever since I came to Nyack College, I've experienced more than I ever imagined. I've met new people, and the moments I have had have been the best ever. I have not had any of my worst moments here at Nyack. I think my years at Nyack will be very interesting with more of the best and worst moments to come. As one of my professors said in this past semester, "Welcome to college."

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
