SENIOR YEAR. It’s the year that every student dreams of, the year when things start getting real and adulthood strikes. Throughout this year students start to see who they really are as an individual. Underclassmen tend to think that this year is filled with fun times and happiness however, there is so much more to senior year than those few things. Senior year is filled with both ups and downs and is overall bittersweet. It’s the end of childhood and beginning of adulthood.
At the beginning of the year I was beyond excited to see how this year was going to go. Of course the first few weeks were getting back in the hang of things and being annoyed with the amount of work that I knew was coming up. The first month of school was here and gone

I was accepted into Delaware Valley University about two weeks after applying and they gave me enough money to pay for about a year and a half of being there. The next thing was applying to about 7 colleges. Most students only apply to a few colleges because that is all that they have time for but I made sure that I applied to a variety of colleges. I did this so that when I go to pick the college that I want to attend I have choices instead of having to go to a certain college because that is the only college that I applied to. I was also successful going to national convention for FFA, the team that I was on ended up placing 6th in the nation, which beat our team from last year. This is a big success because of all of the dedication and hard work that was put into getting to that point.
However, the challenges that I have had include; time management, keeping up with my work and turning in effective work. What I mean by this is work that I have actually understood and completed without having to ask a friend or another student. Time management has been the biggest one though because it is the reason for the other two. Having poor time management has lead me to have trouble keeping up with my work and turn in effective

    In high school my most outstanding example of a time when I set an example as a student leader was my sophomore year in high school. My sophomore year of high school I was brought up to the varsity soccer team, the team that I was on was not extremely hard working and or dedicated. As a sophomore I was afraid to stand up and verbally tell the entire team that we need to step it up, or we are going to have a horrible season, so I decided to make my statement apparent by my actions. First, I started by always being the first one to every practice, putting pressure on my other teammates to do the same, in result everyone started to arrive to practice earlier. The second step I took was difficult since I was one of the youngest players and the…

    In the Spring of last year, it was my Junior year, one of the most critical years in high school. It’s the year that colleges look at the most, also it was the year that I was in some of the most challenging classes. Mostly honors, a lot of homework, and tests to go along with it. Studying would take me until late at night, and even on weekends, all day long. When it’s the end of the term everyone checks their grades for their report cards, and progress reports.…

    My freshman year was one of my craziest school year. It came from fake hall passes, to skipping in the restroom, and acting all bad by getting referrals. I remember my ap secretary always used to call me “Diablo” just because i always got in trouble and she said i used to drive her crazy. I just never cared about the consequence of skipping so much, good thing I never got caught. Meeting new friends and new attitudes and a little more of responsibility and to be honest waking up so early every single morning was not that fun.…

    Senior year is one that should be unforgettable. It is the one where you start to realize who you are and some find out who they want to become. We grow to know one another as a family, an East High Blue Ace family. High school has taught me countless lessons, like being the most popular is not important at all, getting to know the people you thought you would never talk to is a very favorable experience, and never waste a second on someone who wouldn’t take a bullet for you. There truly is a friend for everyone, you just have to reach out and step out of your comfort zone.…

    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.
