Junior Year Research Paper

Improved Essays
My parents used to always say, “Time flies; tens years feels like ten seconds.” I always dismissed these because school as a third-grader always seemed too long. Looking back, I see that my parents were right and that I am only two years away from being an adult. I can remember every first day of school perfectly, and it is so foreign to think that I am almost an upperclassman in high school. Every year, my responsibilities grow and stress is added to my life. I am definitely scared for the responsibilities of junior year and sometimes I want to be a kindergartener again, scheduled nap times in school. School is passing by too quickly, and soon I will be walking the stage, reminiscing about my years in high school that passed so quickly.
