~:[CH8 - Day 124]:~ 18 Hours Later
I just got home and finished uploading pictures from prom, 18 hours after I started loading my car for CIF. I spent most of the day under the surprisingly hot sun, but if I had a chance to do it all again I would. I was debating on whether or not to go to prom, as I was pretty exhausted, but in most cases, when you have that inkling you should go, you should. It was a pretty fun evening and it was always great getting the photos. Since there wasn't a need to edit, I was able to get the photos up quickly and even all those after the day started, I was able to finish. People sometimes wonder why you'd work in a school setting with all the headaches and hassles and considering that in other jobs you have the opportunity for greater pay, but it's seeing athletes falter, but still keep a positive mindset, celebrating with them when they have a break through and experiencing moments they'll never forget such as their prom. It was an opportunity to celebrate the firsts of many as they step onto this next level of racing and it was a day and night to celebrate the lasts for these seniors, whether it be their last race or last high school dance. Yes, I am pretty exhausted as I am finishing up, but at least it was time well spent and memories collected that are truly priceless. As while I could have been resting at home, I was glad to be able to share these final moments as these seniors take their last few steps towards their next stage in life. Eighteen hours later, I don't regret a single thing ...
