Two days ago in assembly we got the order form for our class ring we will receive on senior skip day. This means we are going to be seniors soon.... WOW ALREADY?!?! It seems like just yesterday we were innocent freshmen wandering mindlessly around the quad looking for a safe spot to sit. But look at us now, we are all grown up. Who would have thought that the day would come when I would be a senior in high school. Somewhere far in my mind I always knew that day would come, but it seems so soon. Too soon. I have been at this school since Kindergarten. 12 years so far, that's a long time. I remember when I was young every year seemed to be so long. However, as we entered the academy time seemed to whizz by. I think I often get caught up in all the demands of high school that I forget to take a break and look back on the life I am currently living. But this entry is allowing me to look back on all the past few years in high school and reflect. This past year I have been so involved in marching band, carnival, and grades that I have not had anytime to sit back a relax. However, In assembly two days ago it suddenly hit me hard in the face that I have only a little over a year left at my School. This made me sad because this place has been my home for so long. I came to think that maybe I should take more time to spend with my friends instead of always being caught up in a assigned reading or homework.
It makes me sad to think that the people I am so used to seeing everyday are not going to be there after we graduate. I know graduation is over a year away, but still it makes me sad to think about how so many of our relationships will be lost because we will scatter ourselves all across the world, each going in our separate directions. I hope I stay friends with all my friends even thought I won’t see them everyday. We have spent so much time together and it makes me sad to think that our time together is slowly running out. I know a year and a half seems like a long time but really it goes by fast... and there is no stopping it.
Because I have been at this school for so long I have a difficult time seeing myself in any other environment. I have grown up at my school and I am who I am because of my experiences here and the people I have met here. I think I am apprehensive about leaving because I am slightly afraid. I love to meet new people but I am also afraid of what I will do when I am thrown into a completely new and different environment. I am so comfortable and feel very confident here. I am afraid of loosing myself and who I am when I leave this school. But I guess when you really think about it, this school will always remain a part of me because of the friends I have made here and the experiences this school has offered me. I have grown so much as an individual from the challenges presented to me at this school and the opportunities given to me. In my heart this school will always remain my home and I will never forget the wonderful life I had here. I only have about a year and a half left here and I am going to make the best of it and make it the best year and half of my life.
