A Self-Evaluation on My High School Career
High school is a time that many students dream about throughout their scholastic careers. It is a time described in the movies as social, fun, and memorable.

There are a lot of lessons I have learned from high school, and I’m also glad that I am able to pass on what I’ve learned to my sister and younger cousins who aren’t quite yet going through high school. I believe that as long as you have an idea of what high school is going to be; not just how it is in the movies, you will manage to come out
