High School Senior: Reflection Research Paper

Improved Essays
I was like you once. A new senior in high school. You just finished junior year and now you are the top upperclassmen. You looked up to the seniors before you and just knew that they had it easy. Junior year was the hardest for you and now you get to lay back and relax.
WRONG! Senior is the hardest year for high school. I am really sorry to tell you that the seniors before you may have looked like they had it together, but they just were trying not to freak out everytime they got a new assignment. My word of advice for the upcoming seniors is to be organized with your work and don’t let anyone rush you into college.
