Reflection

Thank God! High schools finally coming to the end, but now its time for our journey to really begin. Going into high school I thought this would be the longest four years of my life, but now it feels like it went by in the blink of an eye. I've had my share of ups and downs though not as bad as others. I can say I've learned some valuable things while being here, but the most valuable skills and information came when I decided to take AP Language & Composition junior year. I got a good dose of what college was going to be like, and a preview on what to expect, but the craziest part of it all was even after all the essays, that I learned to procrastinate on, I STILL wanted to go another round senior year and take Ms.Day again for AP Literature. People thought I was insane, honestly I did too, but after spending 11th grade with a teacher that taught me more than any of my teachers throughout my high school years, I couldn't imagine not taking her again. I wasn't expecting the harsh mental slap of what everyone calls 'Seniortitis' though. It made my procrastination the year before look like nothing. Honestly I'm surprised I even made it this far, and I'm not going to lie, it was a struggle when the only thing I wanted to do all the time was stay home and sleep. I somehow kind of managed though and now with graduation less than two weeks away, its a little scary to know afterward I'll be experiencing the real world outside of high school. Weather this happens in college, living on my own, and/or just experiencing new things depends on the future, and how I live it.
