Senior Reflection #3

I thought I would make this senior reflection a little more personal about graduation. Graduation is nearing (only 12 days to be precise). Graduation, for me, is not only going to be a difficult time with saying good bye to all of the friends I've made, but also good bye to 13 years of organized schooling. High school graduation is like a rite of passage, where we leave the childish/juvenile world and become independent adults. Graduating high school is something that I have been looking forward to for quite a while, not because I cannot wait to get out of school, but because I cannot wait to get out of this town and I cannot wait to meet new people, which is how life is going to be. People say that high school is the time of your life that you will truly remember forever. Though I do agree with that statement, I think that a person's life doesn't truly begin until they graduate from high school and enter college (to realize that they are in charge of their own decisions for once in their lives). I guess all I'm trying to say is that I cannot wait to graduate because I believe there is so much more to this world left for me to experience.
