As this school year comes to a close, I want to look back on the memories of my first year in high school. This year was one very memorable year that I will never forget, and I hope that the next three years of high school are the same. At this time last year, I was deeply scared for high school and the aspects going along with it. I was scared of being the small fish in a big pond, especially coming from middle school were you are at the top. Its like starting all over again. But as this year began, I started to realize that high school is not like the movies. Now, I go to a private christian school so its completely different from public school. All the silly rules we were under in middle school, suddenly seemed to not affect me in high school. Many people always ask me if I like my school, and feel sorry for me that I go to a private school. Well, I love my school and if I had the option to go somewhere else, I would turn it down.
Freshman year has not only brought wonderful memories and unforgetable moments, but I have built lifelong friendships. In the past year, I have really discovered who I can trust and who my real friends are. I have started friendships with many awesome people, and built great bonds with alot of seniors, juniors, and sophmores.
I've really enjoyed getting to know some awesome senior girls who encourage me and strengthen me daily. I'm extremely sad to see them graduate and start a new chapter in their life.
For the seniors, with graduation growing closer, alot of them are ready just to leave. But when I'm a senior I know that it will be really hard for me to say goodbye to the place I have called 'home' for all my life, or been raised to put God first in life, where I have met lifelong friends, or the halls that I walked everyday. Graduating in my option, will be a bitter-sweet memory.
