JUNIOR GRADUATION 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight was nothing short of amazing!!!!!!!! I arrived super early so I waited around for a while. Then my team finally showed up and got my Junior team lined up in reverse alphabetical order. Finally it was time to go in. The set us up different this year. J7 was in the front and J1 in the back. Well we got to move to the front but off to the side so that was nice. They started off the ceremony with flowers and the class gift. Then they gave us some information on VSV. So far looking pretty good :) Then came perfect attendance. Not me this year haha! Oh well. Then they awarded the Junior Grand Entry riders with Red White and Blue ribbons. Then came the long ceremony. J1 went first. We got our certificates saying we were promoted to Seniors!!!!!! We made it! Then we waited for all the other teams. Finally it came time to announce the Top Ten. You could feel the anticipation in the air. They started at 10. The most points you could earn was 178.
J1 placed 8,6,and 2nd! My sister got 3rd. Then came time to announce the Top Junior of 2014. Mr. Keller said," This rider had 171.? points. 7 away from perfect, from Junior 1. My whole team then turns and stares at me and the interclub winner as my name is called! My heart dropped to my feet then back to my throat! Somehow I was already at the stairs. My head felt light and my hands covering my mouth. It didn't even feel like it was me walking up there. I shook Mr. Keller's hand and was handed a Big trophy with my name on it! I made it down the stairs without falling and returned to my seat. I was trying so hard not to cry!!! Then we were dismissed and my whole team swarmed me and hugged me! The trophy was digging into my chest but I didn't care. I have the best team in the entire world!!! I pulled back and we did our white star chant but for Junior 1 instead! I love these girls so much! I'm so glad I get to ride with them in White Star for a little longer. My White Star instructor came and congratulated me and so many other people! I must have said thanks like a thousand times!!! I was physically shaking so hard. IS THIS REAL!!!! AHHHHHH. I said my good-byes and home I went. Now sitting here it doesn't even feel real! I can not believe I placed #1 with a near perfect score out of 100+ riders!!!!! Just goes to show how far I have come since Tenderfoot year. I cannot believe that I am a Senior rider now. I'm a 3rd year!!!!!! Congrats to all the riders who graduated tonight!!!! Every single one of you deserved it!!!!! RIDE WITH PRIDE JUNIORS OF 2013 - 2014!!!!!!!!!!
