Senior year, a time to celebrate graduating from going to school for 12 long years, a time to really appreciate your friends and family for pulling you through some of the toughest times and also for helping you make memories that you will remember for the rest of your life. When looking back on this year, I had my ups and downs, but when it came to the downs that I was going through, I feel as though they are what helped shaped me into the mature young woman I see myself as today.
Going into senior year at South High, I wasn't the least bit nervous. I was at the top of the school after all the years of being at the bottom. Being a senior to me meant, relaxing because I no longer had to take all the AP classes I was previously taking, and it also meant freedom, which is what came along with taking VOICES, which I feel in my opinion really helps us get ready for college.
It seems like everything that has happened this year was better than it had been in previous years, such as Super Soccer Saturday, Sadie Hawkins, singing telegrams, and Sweethearts. But when I come to think about it, everything may seem better because it'll be the last time we will be able to attend or do such things as a high school student. And that has really become a reality for me with Softball this year. I want to be sure I play every game to my best ability as if it were the last game I'll ever play. Because at this time, I'm not really sure I will ever play Softball on a competitive level ever again. That also goes along with Prom. I want to make this the most memorable Prom, one that will never be forgotten for as long as I live.
Senior year is known as everyone's favorite year, the one year you look forward to the most as a high school student. And sitting here, knowing that it's so close to being over, I come to realize that maybe I'm not quite ready to let it all end. I don't look forward to watching myself and all my closest friends go there separate ways. Whether they plan on staying in state or going out of state, it just won't be the same as seeing them every single day. Especially all the kids in VOICES, we all became so close this year, it's going to be the hardest goodbye ever.
So on May 26th, 2011, I will find myself on the last day of high school, looking around at the school that I was once nervous to attend as a freshmen and reminiscing on all the memories I had as a student at South High. And as I walk across that stage to get my diploma, and throw my cap in the air amongst the students I've gone to school with the past four years, the one thing that will be going through my mind will be "That was some adventure, huh?"
