Even before my high school years began, I was always told to enjoy my senior year to the fullest. I remember being told that it would fly by before my eyes, and I would always think to myself, "They are really exaggerating, I am sure my senior year will feel like a century has passed before it 's over". I would walk the halls of my school as a freshman looking up to the seniors, they seemed very grown and mature. I couldn 't wait until I was in their position.

Then, the principal called my name, and to this point walking across the stage, shaking hands, and receiving my diploma has been one of the greatest accomplishments of my young life. After all the names were called, we all stood up as a class, and the principle yelled, “I present to you the Class of 2015”, and that’s when we tossed our tassels into the air.

The feeling of making my parents proud was the best feeling ever. I hugged and took pictures with my family and friends.
