I was so excited!!!! (final draft)

I was awaken by the sounds of my family screaming and clapping. My mother was yelling "Get up Keyanna, come on. Today is the day baby, you graduate today." My brother hollered out "ill, you ugly as shit in the morning." After he said that, everyone was laughing hysterically. My mom told everyone to get out of my room so that I could get up and get ready. After my family exited my room, I pulled my blanket off of me and hopped out of bed.
I was very excited and nervous at the same time. My legs were weak because I had stayed up real late the night before and I didn't get a lot of sleep. I shook my legs and stretched every limb of my body from my head down to my toes. When I opened my closet door the first thing that I saw was my lovely turquoise dress and my silver heels that were positioned on top of a shoe box on my closet floor. I placed my dress across my bed and set my shoes down on the floor in front of the bed. I quickly grabbed my washcloth, towel, and toothbrush, and then I dashed down the hall to the bathroom.
While relaxing in the shower, I began to contemplate on how the day would turn out. I was nervous because I had written a speech about my family and friends that I would recite on stage in front of everyone. I began asking myself a series of questions: What if I trip on stage? What if I start sweating uncontrollably? What if everyone laughs at my speech? In an attempt to calm my nerves, I thought about my friends and how much fun we would have together singing and dancing on stage.
After about thirty minutes later, I turned the shower off, grabbed my toothbrush and started brushing my teeth. I must have been brushing too hard because my gums started to bleed a little. I said to myself "Damn I'm really nervous. I need to calm down cause it aint like I haven't spent four years in school wit all these people anyway. Shit I know a lot of them gone be lookin busted." I was more relaxed after I made myself laugh. I grabbed all of my things and walked down the hall to my room.
I hurriedly applied lotion to my body so that I could put on my dress. After I put on my dress, I put on my heels and started lacing them around my calves. When I was completely dressed, I untied my scarf, took it off my head and threw it on the bed. My mom bolted threw my door and said "Oh my god, you look so beautiful. Wow boo, you are just so pretty." Then she started tearing up and told me to hurry up because we would be leaving in fifteen minutes.
When we arrived at Vare Middle School, I was amazed at how pretty everyone looked. All of the girls were so colorful and bright and the guys looked so damn sexy! While my family took their seats in the auditorium, I ran behind the stage to get in line with the rest of my graduating class. The guys and the girls were to enter the stage from two different directions. When they stared calling out names I froze. I was so scared and nervous. It took, what felt like an eternity, for the principal to call my name. When the principal finally called my name and I walked out on the stage I felt like a star because everyone was snapping pictures and screaming my name. The best part of the day was when we had to sing our graduation song. It was so funny, everyone was singing R. Kelly's "I believe I can fly" out of tune. Some people were even trying to hit a couple high notes every now and then, but I was just enjoying the show.
A fellow classmate of mine called my name, I was so terrified. It was time for me to recite my speech. My heart was racing and I couldn't stop my hands from shaking. When I reached the podium I looked straight down at my paper because I was too scared to make eye contact with anyone. As I was reciting my speech, people began clapping and cheering me on. This allowed me to loosen up and make eye contact with almost everyone in the auditorium.
After we danced, cried, and took hundreds of pictures everyone started to leave the school. My friends and I agreed that we would meet up later to do a little more celebrating. Later on that night Sharonda, Nashay, Briana, Mydia, Ebony, Pup, Raheem, Crip, Fuss and I all went to the movies on Delaware Avenue. After we watched about three movies, we headed to Mc Donald’s. All the guys and girls were flirting and just enjoying each others company. I arrived home around 1:30 in the morning. As I lay in the bed, I thought about all the memories that I had experienced throughout my four years in junior high and I said to myself, “With all the fights, break ups, loss of friendships, and rumors if I could do it all over I wouldn’t change a thing.”
