Drive

A word that could mean a reason for doing something. Inspiration. Something that helps push you along to do what you need to do. However, the word "Drive" is more commonly used as a verb that means to go somewhere with a vehicle.

Recently, I've been learning about both.

Its summer and I'm still making up credits from 10th grade. Why? Because I want to graduate. Its something I hadn't really focused on before so I slacked off. I lacked some reason to drive me where I needed to be to do what I needed to do. Now I understand, you need to set your destination so that you end up in the right place. Because I failed to do so, I now had to detour through two summers of school just to get back on the right road, but I still have one final stretch before I get to my destination: the Bethel Graduation ceremony at Corbus Field. Its a narrow road, and I can't slip, but I'm determined to get there this time. There might be traffic, or jerks on the road, flat tires, dead batteries or empty tanks of fuel. Overheating engines, broken AC, loud back seat drivers, piles of homework in the trunk, and blasting music. I also know that on the way there will be rest stops, sights to see, people to meet, moments to remember, and just possibly...finding that perfect passenger to travel with to get there.

But still, Highway 2010 is gonna be one hell of a road trip!!!
