Two weeks and counting
Day number one as a senior. Well, not technically, but we’ll consider it so anyhow. I cannot even begin to describe my jealousy of those who went through their last day of school today. To be able to say goodbye to high school and the things that go along with it would probably be both exciting and sad at the same time. Hmm, guess this opportunity will be taken to sum up my Junior year, not by events, oh no, but by the experiences I’ve had by going through those events. Make sense? Good. I’ve experienced people; getting to know a variety of people on a variety of levels is by far one of the most interesting, confusing, and wonderful practices ever. I’ve experienced myself; the more both encouragement and criticism I’ve received the stronger I’ve become, and my independence built each time I got a compliment from a friend, or a cut-down by an unintentional hurtful joke. I’ve experienced face-to-face realities of life; physical complications and psychological problems are so closely related. I’ve experienced what has the power to provide me with my own natural high; sometimes the best stimulators are those that have been staring at you for quite some time, awaiting your interest. Although it may sound somewhat cheesy, I have to say, that I’ve experienced that everyone is different, and that I must cope with that fact just as much as others need to realize it. Above all, I am who I am, Laura Elena Blanco, flaws included. I do not want to be an imitator, an attention seeker, nor one who feels the need to “approve” or not of someone else. Despite a few experiences I wish I had not gone through or put myself in, there are no regrets, and this year was awesome.
