Had they replaced my heart with a drum? I thought so. I could here it's beat over the roaring crowd. My dream is so very close now. I look to the audience trying to spot my family in the crowd. I finally spotted them, only to see most either crying or screaming, holding up signs with different encouraging words. I could feel both pride and tears coming to me. I glanced at the clock above my family, friends and colleagues, knowing it was time to go. I look back, waving and shouting goodbye, I walked to the giant piece of metal that would get me to my future.
