High School’s been a pretty dense four years; in no other period of my life have I changed as much as I have within the last four. From horribly timid and awkward to what I am today, I will definitely remember high school not necessarily because it was so much fun, but because of how much I have grown and changed for the better. I tend to think of high school in sort of two eras, both being divided by the summer of 2008, the year I went to Summer Ventures. The pre-Summer Ventures Era was relatively uninteresting whereas the post-Summer Ventures era is when things got interesting. My pre-Summer Ventures years were the chunk of time that I'd have to say I was the most lost, and unsure of myself. Summer Ventures, a summer camp, totally change me. It is here that I became more confident, totally G, and complete caffeine addict. It is here that I grew to love the stanky leg, and it is here that I became who I am today. This was a good start to junior year, the year of Ms. Townsend’s crazy AP Bio class where we not only made up crazy bio jokes, but I met a few of my best friends. We spent an aweful lot lunches in that Bio classroom, and if anything we were like a second family to eachother. It was also in this class that I won a national science competition with Farihah Ahmed. We were both kind of failures in the lab so winning this and beating nine NCSSM applicants kinda made us feel a little better. Senior year has been the year with the most mixed feelings. As cliché as this sounds, there really isn’t any other way to describe it other than bitter sweet. I can honestly say that I am ready to get out of here and go off to college, but I’d also have to admit that I think I’m going to kind of miss being here. Minus AP Chemistry, a lot of good things have happened this year. So much has happened, and I’ve seen so many of you for so long, its going to be different not encountering what has been so familiar to me for the past four years. Even people that I haven’t really gotten to know too well, I’m probably going to miss you all too, and I definitely hope to keep seeing some of you around.
