High school has officially ended. With high school come a great load of memories. It seems like in that span of four years, one learns a lot more than a person could learn anywhere else. We learn our regular classroom lessons, of course, but we learn about life and living, about how to be socially acceptable, we try new things and experience new things, and we make friends that sometimes can last a lifetime, and some that can last a year. It's been a great journey and an adventure, and I'm probably never going to forget it.
I remember thinking in freshman year that high school was pretty intimidating. There were people bigger than me, and I only had a couple girls that I hung out with. I knew a lot of people from my past, but I was too shy to say hi. Not a good way to start out, but things picked up from there. I learned to become a little more sociable, although it was difficult to break out from my little group.
Sophomore year was hell. It was just a hard year and I felt overwhelmed. I made a friend who became somewhat special, and I experienced new things that were somewhat welcomed, and others that I wish I didn't go through. And, of course, I got through it and I welcomed the new year whole heartedly. What a child I was. I think that was the year in high school I matured the most.
Junior year was a blast. People said it was the hardest year, and it was difficult, but it was so much fun. I didn't do too well in school academically, and especially not very well in SATs, but I was a little bit more outgoing and experienced a little bit more drama with a friend that taught me a little bit more about guys in general. But, this year I didn't regret anything, and I loved it.
Senior year. What an amazing year. This year was a blast, and it was all thanks to my friends and easy classes. I was more outgoing than any year previous and, as always, I experienced some new things as a senior. And I turned 18 and became a legal adult. After all, turning 18 is the end of childhood, but the beginning of life. It was great to see my friends growing up with me, and how I changed and became a young adult with the experiences I had. Of course, the courses I took in school will be long forgotten, but the friends and experiences will always stay with me. I was really sad to see this year end, and with it, the end of high school all together.
I experienced heartache, immense stress, emotional ups and downs, drama, crushes, meaningful conversations, love and hate relationships; the list can go on. I'm both sad and excited to see this year end. I'm not going to easily forget any of the people I met and the special people I went through high school with, whether or not I ever see or talk to them again. I'll be going to college and that will open up a whole bunch of new things to experience. It's just another adventure to embark on.
