I'm going to college.
June 1st, 2016.
As I am wrapping up my high school life in a nice bundle and getting ready to put it aside, I am also mentally preparing myself for a fresh, new beginning. All the remnants of my memories of high school will hopefully stay with me for years to come, and I hope I won't end up like some older people I know who don't remember anything of their high school life. They told me, "Michelle, take pictures of your high school life with those phone things you have. It'll last longer." There will be no such annihilation of certain memories that I might want to crush. I'll take everything I have learned from high school and see it as an experience.
For one, I can say this: I survived high school! There were LOTS of bickering, indignation and belabor at times, but who doesn't have that during their high school life? You've had your good share of peevish times, but it means nothing now. I wish I could look back at my freshman, sophomore or junior self and just shake my shoulders: "YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY." Without trying challenges, fear will just continue to run your life. Will you let your anxiety stop you from doing things?
I'm a shy person. I never understood nor knew how to really socialize with people that well until I came here. I'm pretty thankful for this community here, it has helped me socialize with more people, and find who I really am. Unlike my middle school in the states, where my grade was at least 100 people and I was able to blend it really easily, this high school is small; less people means more socializing. My own character has grown into a more open person whilst spending time here. And although I may look like I am furtive at nature, deep down I am just a person who likes to be loud and have fun. High school has taught me that education is important, but so are your people connections around you. The majority of my great high school experience is all thanks to my friends. You'll be meeting new people throughout your whole life, you should value the good friends that you have and just be grateful.
Take care of yourself. Health is the most important wealth in the world. Before high school, I didn't really know myself, nor took care of me. Now, I'm happy to say that I'm finally steering myself in the right direction (hopefully) towards the best person I can be for myself and others. High school taught me that it's okay to fail and make lots of mistakes. You will find a solution. Reverberate these words over and over: "YOU GOT THIS." in the back of your mind. Respect you enough to take care of your body and mind. You can make the change that you want to see in your life.
Those tests that you crammed for, the banal information that teachers teach over and over. Yes, I now understand what a gangrene is. And when I had some bad grades show up on power school, convulsion is something that I truly felt like doing. Why am I not that good at this 'school' thing? And hey, it took me YEARS to finally get it. Balance out everything, that's the key. Study equal times, then chill. And this doesn't only equate to studying, but to life in general. Of course, everyone will have their share of hardships, great times, and confusing eras in their life. Balance is the key to having a life full of experience, happiness and accumulated knowledge.
It's quixotic to think that you can graduate high school without studying or trying. High school is no easy "A". Getting into a good study habit is essential for success. Thank you Mr. Pangier, your own class structure has allowed me to branch off and create my own study habit. We are all in a queue, waiting for our chance at living a fulfilling and happy life. I NEVER had a good study habit. I was truly the definition of procrastinator. I got into a habit of doing things last minute, and the only reason why I continued and thought it was okay was because I maintained okay grades. Even with procrastination, I got major assignments done in time and came back with good grades.
Although at first I was trying to fill in all my vocabulary words for this assignment by talking about my high school life, I just realized I have no idea how to explain froth, artillery, convalesce in relation to this post. But, I guess to finish up, I can add that the only injury I've had this entire 4 years is when I tore 2 ligaments in my ankle and after a month of rest, I've convalesced and now I'm better. Amazing, right?
For now, you've probably been able to guess that I'm purely writing this for an assignment, but now that I've gotten into it, I actually genuinely reflected on high school and it's really dawned on me that I have little to 2 weeks left of being a senior in high school. Wow, this year went by so fast. Too fast. But then again, part of me is excited for the new change, new routine, new everything.
All I can say now is thank you high school, you did me well.
