Script: High school. It’s something every American teen has to deal with at some point. As kids I remember wanting nothing more than to become a teen. And looking up with starry eyes to the heavenly pinnacle of humanity that is high school. Or so we thought. Once you’re in, you want out. The idealistic view of high school is shattered, and you realise ‘Saved By the Bell’ lied to you. The classes are long, the work hard or tedious, and your gazes shift now to college. Hoping that this time your dreams of a better life will be satisfied.

Yes, high school is long. High school is boring. High school is… sometimes more than you can handle, but I don’t think it was a waste of time. Between the petty fights and cramming for that exam you forgot, you do grow up. Just a little. The person I am now, who I am, is thanks to the people here. My teachers, my friends, and as cliché as it is I think high school is where you can begin to find yourself.

While high school wasn’t perfect, I don’t regret my time spent at Green Hope High.

My years at Green Hope have been some of the best in my life. Though the lessons could be dull, I think they were worth it. Even the deadweight classes gave me something: be they new friends or an excuse to sleep in class. So high school isn’t something I would like to do again, that makes sense, but looking back… it wasn’t so bad. And part of me is a little said that this chapter of my life is drawing to a close.

Just a little.
