I remember making an insightful post on my birthday, and now seems to be a fitting time. We are 5 days away from the end of high school and I don't think I have realized that yet. With all the excitement and countdown, most of us are forgetting htat we will most likely never see a lot of these people again after graduation. These people and the environment that we were brought up in have shaped us into who we are. I am excoted to move on to larger things because I think that I am ready. Most people have stated their reasons as to why they hate H-F, as I am guilty of it as well. But, what we are forgetting are all the oppurtunities that we were presented with as well, which is mostly becuase of all the people we encountered there, the same people that we will be saying goodbye to shortly. I have been working on my application for the CommUNITY floor at Marquette next year, and I have realized that I was lucky to go to school with people of so many differnt cultures. I believe that I definitely have a positive outlook on the idea of diversity because it allows for everyone to respect each other. Looking back I have a few regrets on how I spent my high school years, but overall I am happy with what they were and who I became becuase of them. I am leaving high school with a solid group of friends, a sense of responsibility, as well as pride. I am walking away holding my head up high because I am proud of myself. Surely, I have slacked off here and there, but I believe that I worked hard and it showed. Although it sounds goofy, but this weekend I have been doing my homework and I have found some joy in it. Joy from it being the last work I will need to complete in school for 3 months, as well as joy in it being done well. I will head off to college with a strong sense of work ethic, because upon the partying and everything else that will be happening at school, I am going there to learn. At times college will be tough, but I want to learn as much as I can and therefore do the best that I can with whatever path I take. The main message that I am trying to get across is I hope that everyone enjoys this last week of school. Make it out to be the best that it can be, but still work hard. A strong finish will bring a strong start for next year when the work will be heavier and more difficult.
