My first year of High school was a really life changing experience. Going into freshman year, you’re told to accept the fate that you’re not going to be friends with who you were friends with in middle school. You’re told you’ll hardly know the people you called your best friends in eight grade, but I proved that to be false. In fact, I’m closer with my best friends than I ever have been. That does not mean I haven’t met some really amazing new friends, too. What it does mean is that I’m happy who I’ve chosen to surround myself with this year. If I did have to change one thing about this year, it would probably be the amount of effort I’ve put into my school work. Yeah, I made good grades and I also have tried pretty hard, but I’ve procrastinated in almost all that I’ve done, and I’ve half done some things that could of turned out a lot better. I for sure could of had a 4.0 GPA but I didn’t try my hardest and now i really regret that.
