“Every end is a new beginning.” I remember four years ago feeling the same way im feeling right now at this moment. Not wanting to leave my middle school and really frighten of going to high school. I had heard so many things about high school but didn’t really know what to expect. Would it be like in movies were cheerleaders and jocks are the most popular and that nerds get pushed into lockers?
Feeling like a little girl lost without her parents n the middle of madness, is how I felt my first day of my freshman year. Walking down the halls with giant guys that had facial hair was something I was not used to! I started high school having few friends since all of them were going to Central, which made me want to go there since I didn’t want to be the only one gong to Hinkley. As the days passed I met new people who later on became my friends and created good memories as well as bad memories during my high school time.
Pep rallies, assemblies, homecoming, and prom are events that are unforgettable. From your freshman year to your senior year you will remember who you were sitting with , the games, and who won them. I remember that my class of 2011 has won every years pep rally since freshman year! Each year there is a senior assembly were seniors say there goodbyes. My freshman year it was like whatever, I would see people crying and hugging and I felt no emotions at all. My sophomore year I talked to a couple of seniors, one of them even gave a speech and when the background music started playing I felt it, the sadness that people had talked about. Now I understood why everyone was crying instead of being happy. My junior year was the worst of all yet. Most of my friends were seniors and I hated the fact that they were graduating and leaving I felt so sad. When I saw them all lined up saying goodbye to all the teachers I felt my eyes tearing up. When all of a sudden I started to think of the moment that I would graduate and be in my senior assembly the thought of it created an empty feeling in my stomach.
But not everything in high school is perfect. Fights, boyfriend/girlfriends, friends, and DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA. There is a point were there is no drama no fights and everything is going good but like a sixty degree turn everything can turn around to people hating you for the way you look, talk dress, the boyfriend/girlfriend you have, or even because of the people you hang out with. Hair pulling to guys claiming out different crews is something natural for high scholars. The friends you obtain during these years will either be loyal to you or prove to you that someone like that could never be a true friend. You will go through ups and downs making friendships stronger by the experiences. Through laughs, tears, stressful, and even crazy times. A high school sweetheart is something a lot of people believe in and even experience, but at times its not as magical as it seems. During high school everyone goes through relationships which bring drama like it or not.
Now that I am close to graduating I have no words that can explain my high school experience. It is something that I wouldn’t change and to all the freshman, sophomore, and juniors all I can say to them is to enjoy it to the max. Instead of being all frustrated of going to class to do it with joy, because after you graduate there is no coming back. There are points were I have to admit that you just want to give up because of the stress and son on, but the best and most important is to be strong enough to keep on going. I thank all my teachers Mr. Noise and Mr. Brysh for helping me day by day extend my knowledge, my family for supporting me and having faith in me, and god for helping me achieve my goals.
