Graduation was the sweetest day I ever saw. Standing on that stage, I felt so light, so free; it was all I could do to hold it all in. It was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced.

After the ceremony, I walked slowly to the parking lot where my Camaro was parked out back. Everything seemed surreal. The steering wheel felt smooth and sturdy in my hands.

I was home free.

But home was the last place that I wanted to be.
