The Final Words

As time keeps ticking we get closer and closer to our last time being at Oak Hill High School as a student.  Many memories have been made, both ones to remember and ones not to remember.  The first day walking into this school as a freshman seeing how much taller the kids were around me and how confusing the school seemed.  Compared to the middle school where each grade had their own sections, high school seemed more intimidating to me because that wasn’t the case here. Your class could be anywhere located in the school. I had many worries such as.  Will I be able to find my class? will I be able to keep up with my school work? Will I fit in with other kids around me? I soon realized that after freshman and sophomore year the worries soon changed to different worries.   Will I be able to get enough credits to leave early my senior year, will I be able to pass my drivers test on my first try and so on.  As we get closer to the end of the year I realize how pathetic my worries were as a senior.  What time does class end? I won’t be able to get a close parking spot to the door, and even why is there so much work even though the workload hasn’t changed throughout the past 4 years I have just become more unaware by the homework I was putting off everyday because I would say to myself I’ll do it tomorrow even though I never did.

As we look into the future, I assume the worries will begin the same but as time keeps moving I want you to look back on your senior year of high school and think is this really something to be stressed over or is it as bad as my senior year worries like not being able to get a close parking spot to the front door.  As we look back we can take our past worries and learn from them as they will help us for all of our future plans.
