But I wouldn’t change it for the world it’s really been a pleasure and everything happens for a reason it’s a reason it happened this way and I wouldn’t like it any other way. This year I treated the freshman’s with care because when I was a freshman the seniors then didn’t help us with nothing they left blind for the whole year. They treated us horrible and it wasn’t fun.

    Since the first day, time has been flying really fast. Starting a fresh new day, meeting the same teachers and same old friends, I still cannot imagine that I am now a senior! In my senior year, there will definitely be a lot of challenges and obstacles for me to conquer, but I believe that as long as I do everything step by step, I can beat down the difficulties in this senior year. When I was in junior year, I often heard last year’s seniors told me how hard is it to come up with a senior project topic, and they kept on reminding me to start thinking of my topic and finding my mentors. Luckily, I had research method class last year, so I knew how to do my APA style references and I had many presentations experiences last year.…

    For as long as I can remember, movies and television have been my escape. No matter what was going on in my life, I could always get lost in the fantastical adventures of Star Wars or even the mundane happenings in The Office. With each new story that I consumed, my mind created five more. For me, writing just started out as a way for me to clear all of these thought-tangents out of my head. I would keep random journals everywhere and just jot down whatever came to me throughout the day.…

    Three years elapsed, and with those years gone, so were my hardships. The start of my fourth year marked the turning point for me and what made my final year in high school a memorable one. Unlike the years prior where my opinion didn’t matter, my senior year was when I was finally recognized and praised for my abilities. I felt like I was an asset to the team rather than someone who was just taking up space. I was given first priority when the time had come to pick numbers.…

    Being super confident and comfortable with myself has never been my strong suit. Growing up the youngest of five was hard enough as it is without everyone constantly comparing me to my older sisters; I was always the last included in everything when it came to them. I was always “too young” or “not cool enough yet”. Having five sisters who all had their own activities and their own talents made it harder to find my own; It was a forbidden sin to be interested in the same activity as one of my sisters, and if I was I just constantly was compared to the sister who had done it before I had. This made me extremely shy and insecure about who I was.…

    My Theme Song If I were to choose one song to represent my senior year, it would be “I Lived” by OneRepublic. In this song, the lead singer is basically sending a message to his young son.

Most of all, Ryan advises him to live his life to the fullest, so that one day, he may be able to look back and know that he gave the world everything he had. I like this song, because it relates to how I look at life, especially my senior year.…

    Before college I could’ve easily convinced myself that I knew everything I needed to know about life and I was the person I’d be for the rest of my years to come; I was wrong.
