Ceremony of Twelve
I just got back from the ceremony! I am now an Eleven. This morning I was wishing that I was becoming a Twelve, now not so much. Today the Chief Elder went right from eighteen to twenty. I knew it was wrong and so did everyone else. I tried to see who she had skipped. I felt horrible for nineteen. Then I started to worry, what if I made the same mistake. I could see everyone else around me whispering and shifting uncomfortably. Then she told us he was our next Giver. I was relieved. Then I remembered about the story our Father had told us, about the last person selected. Everyone's acted funny around Jonas, who they selected. I tried not be near him as I rode back with my family. And now I could stay an Eleven forever. But I can't. Maybe I should suggest it to the Elders. I hope I'm not the next Giver.
