Class Of 2017: The Good Years

The end of the year is finally approaching. No more homework, tests and grades. It is finally time to say goodbye to the long depressing 6 hour day and hello to the relaxing and sunny days of summer. For you fellow juniors, now that you will be transitioning to seniors and get to experience the new school, you do not know what’s in store for senior year. Now as for the seniors, it is now our final days as high schoolers where we say goodbye to all the precious memories, long lasting friendships and the good and the bad times we had with each other, and start our beginning days as adults. This is now the time where we have to start to getting serious and knowing what our future is going to be. Things like finals, grades, graduation and colleges should be on our minds right now, as we are now going to be adults and know it is time for us to start taking responsibility seriously and get our act together. This is a big transition in our lives and there are probably many of you are scared of what is going to happen next. The only advice I can give you is that whatever decision you make, is absolutely 100% up to you and that the first thing to do is to relax and stay calm; no need to stress as the future does not have a deadline. Honestly, it is ok to be scared from time to time, but all I know is to not to be all the time. As a senior, I understand how stressful school is and how life is going to be, but I do not let that get in the way of what I have to do. In my final words, I will say that this has been one of the best years that I have experienced in my entire life and it is sad that it is now coming to an end and I will dearly miss everyone, and even for juniors, your time is coming up as well, but for the rest of you, don’t think of this as the end, but think more of it as the beginning of something more.
