The last days of high school are ones of reflection and great anticipation-- remembering the past experiences and applying them toward the future. These lasts days are also ones of growth and maturity. The end is near, and we as students have to come to the realization that we are venturing out into the unforgiving world. Yet, I feel that this challenge is one that I am personally capable of taking on; and, in these last days, I have come to this realization-- I am ready for the world.
High school’s final days are ones where you find out who your true friends are; you come to see what really matters is your future, and you come to see who really supports you in your future goals-- who really wants you to succeed. You come to find out what matters and what really has the most value. The realities of life set it; the reality that you are leaving everything behind and experience everything that life has to offer. These days are nostalgic as I remember the past here, all of the memories, and all of the hardships. I feel that my dedication to education has prepared me to be able to handle whatever comes my way-- I’ll be primed for anything.
However, I do possess a notion of fear for my future. Part of me does not want to leave these last and final days-- you never know what is going to happen, who is going to disappear. Our departure is one of some anxiety for what lies ahead in our journey through life. However, I know that there are greater opportunities awaiting me in college; there are chances to meet new people, share ideas, and experience life through a new light; yet, I will never forget the faces I see, the memories I have, and the perspective I molded through my years here in high school.
