BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL

Don’t you love that back to school feeling—the excitement and happiness that runs through you the night before your first day? Getting to see all your friends again, showing off all your new clothes, and the best part of it all is getting the new privileges that comes with moving up the education food chain. But don’t let us fool you, all this change does send a rush through our veins beyond compare, it also scares us a bit too. It’s the newness of having so much more freedom that ignites us; I mean if we aren’t regulated we’d probably all go crazy. Learning how to drive, being able to go to football games, and beginning new relationships are some of the highest points through our high school years. 

As seniors you get to experience everything one last time and you get to begin preparing for the rest of your life. Juniors get to experience prom for the first time, start searching for colleges, and driving. Sophomores are still learning and maturing but this is usually the age where we begin finding ourselves. For freshman everything is new and wonderfully exciting but very scary because they are the on the bottom and they have to figure out how to manage time and responsibility. 

Most of us put on the mask of hating school; we make it seem like the worst experience ever when in reality that’s just our way of blending in and showing everyone how much we despise the work we receive. But we need to get past that and see the way this will eventually help us, not to mention getting a free education makes us all very lucky.
