In my high school yearbook my senior year, we where asked some questions. The answer to those questions would then be placed in the yearbook. The quote I decided was:

"I am not the next of them, but the first of me."

Meaning!

I was concerned with what I was going to do after school, just like every other graduating high school-er. There were so many people I had as examples for to follow in their foot-steps. But I really did not want to become like them at all. They were great people, but I wanted to do my own thing.
I do not want to become the next Mozart, or the next Michelangelo, or the next anything. I want to bring something totally different to the table. I want to show another way of thinking, loving, learning, creating, and being.

"I am not the next of them, but the first of me."
