I always thought 17 was a big one. Bigger than 16. Because when you’re 17 you’re in the midst of everything— with school and friends and everything. When you’re 16, you just learned to drive. You just learned that everything isn’t the way it seemed when you were young. But when you’re 17 you’ve gotten use to all those things. You’re getting older. You’ve got a year left to make high school experience what you’ll always remember. I have high expectations for 17. I hope its one of the greatest years of my young life.
