As the day is coming nearer and nearer, graduation day is coming. As a junior in high school, it’s a big accomplishment as I have waited for this moment for 12 years since the first day of preschool. Every day during school I would work hard and get good grades so that I am able to graduate high school and also get into a good college. The fact that all that hard work I put into school is finally paying off makes me happy. I can finally relax for some time before I go into college and start all over again for another 4 years. The only thing about college is that I have to pay a lot of money so I will be getting student debt which would suck.
Throughout the 12 years that I have been in school, I have met new people that I had great relations with and most of those people are my best friends at the moment. I made my way through without doing anything bad like drugs or alcohol use. As of right now, I am learning how to drive. I’ve had my permit for at least 6 months and am almost ready to take the driver's license test. Just need to work on parking and then that’s it. Hopefully, I am ready before spring break so I can take that test. Back when I was little, I didn’t know that I would have to drive to school or to drive in general. It’s pretty cool to see how I’ve come along with the people I know.
The way that I am now is very different than when I was in elementary and middle school. I grew up. I matured from the kid that would always get into trouble a lot and also a talker to a young adult who keeps his mouth shut. I feel that this is a good thing because I am ready for what’s to come in a year. I am waiting for that moment where it all ends and the start of my adult career.

This makes me reflect on my entire life in school. It really has been a long but very worthwhile journey. Maturity is a key thing to learn when going through your school life, so your inclusion of that in this piece is great. Graduating high school, as you said, is a very big accomplishment and can actually be the biggest and most important accomplishment for most people in this world, and especially the US.
ReplyDeleteI have never done drugs or alcohol either, and I am currently learning how to drive as well. I hope you pass your driving test. I have also met new people throughout the years I’ve been in school, though sometimes I wish I can go back in the past and change some of the people I hung out with. You seem like a nice and hardworking person, and I hope you’re able to find success in whatever you do after high school.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I remember being small and thinking that graduation day seemed like a million years away, but time as flown by so quickly. Change is good and I like seeing the change we've all made throughout our high school years figuring out who we are and our work is not done yet. I'm so happy that you're doing all these amazing things. your hard work will pay off. Best of luck to you.
