It's not the urge to jump, it's deeper than that. It's the urge to fall!

This will be short. I'm almost done with high school and I'm staring at a precipice. Keeping my feet on the ground would be the practical decision and probably the one that my family would prefer, especially my father. But at the same time... There can be no big rewards without big risk. That's one of the mantras of Vegas and really it's time that I embraced that. I'm from Idaho, the state that probably couldn't be more practical if it tried. Seriously, the city that I grew up in until I moved here was originally called "Eagle Rock" because when the early settlers showed up to settle the region, there was an eagle on a rock. Now, it's called Idaho Falls because...there are falls from the Snake River that runs right through the middle of the city and it's in Idaho. Seriously, it couldn't be more practical if it tried.
Anyway, I'm not a Vegas girl. But I've picked up a few Vegas traits. This puts me in a bit of an awkward position. But I don't think I can be completely practical anymore. I need to take some risks. And this will probably be the biggest one I will ever take in my life.
