Eighth Grade was in the past, and not a day went by when I did not think about High School. I was excited to make new friends, to be in a whole new environment, and to get a sense of maturity. I knew high school would be the most important years in my life, because that is where you develop benevolent qualities, like responsibility, that carry with you into college. Throughout my life I have always be waiting for this day. Didn't think it would come so fast. So nervous my body is shaking, Trying not to cry on top of it. You might think I might be talking about Marriage. Not a chance, I'm talking about senior year. This year is not just the end of an era,but a beginning of a new chapter.
It all started when I got my senior photos done. It was a normal day of the week just a little twisted. We got to the school at 8:30 A.M, were they were still setting up for us to come. Flash, Flash, Click, Click, These sounds kept coming faster and faster. As she looked around the room what she saw was my mother. A single tear ran down her face as she watched us get are photos taken. Right after glanced over at my mom and seeing her cry was kinda sad. Are senior photos weren't the only good thing that happened to me so far this year.

    During my younger years my dad, who played tennis when he was younger, coached me and taught me how to hit my basic ground strokes such as backhands and forehands. As I entered high school, I went out for the tennis team and made the junior varsity team. It was during my first year on the team that I learned about how much fun it was to be on a sports team. What I loved the most was that even as a freshman, I was able to make friends older than me who served as my mentors for both school and my tennis…

    One of the many things I got asked when getting ready to go to college is “why a Liberal Arts University?” for a long time I didn't even know the difference, well now I do. A Liberal Arts University is a college that offers a broad range of subjects including math, science, history, philosophy, languages, and literature. Many non-liberal arts universities only offer your basics then your straight into your major specific classes. One thing I believe is the best thing about getting a liberal arts education is you have to take a little bit of every subject.…

    Senior year was like no other, though. Realizing that my brother would not make it to any of my “lasts” was heartbreaking. Infact, I made a camouflage American Flag bow to wear in my hair every volleyball game to support my brother. Every time before playing a game, my team and I would stand on the end line while the National Anthem was playing. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t tear up every single time I heard the National Anthem.…

    to play with a friend, or a coach, or my parents, who were all supportive of me during this process. But not everyone was supportive of my goal. I had plenty of people tell me that even if I worked every day and tried my best to reach my goal, that it was not possible for a guy like me to make the team. I believe they were referring to my unathleticism, But I did not let them stop me. Making the tennis team would surely be a struggle, but I knew that if I really wanted something and I strove for it and tried my best, that I could reach this goal, no matter what anyone said to…

    Senior Year My greatest memory so far in my eighteen years of being on this earth is without a doubt my senior year of high school. It was absolutely unforgettable. My senior year as a whole (which was just last year) was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life and the happiest I have ever been. When I was a chubby little freshman with glasses I thought to myself that high school would be one of the longest time periods of my life and that four years would feel like forty years. But man was I wrong, high school went by in the blink of an eye.…
