This is it my final year of high school,and Im so excited. The stress of the cost of Senior year and graduating may add stress but, the fun of friends and football games makes it worthwhile. In a way it is sad that soon enough we will no longer be walking the halls and soon be going to college full time or working, making our own living. I wish when I was a freshmen I would have realized that those grades would start my GPA off that would determine what college I would be able to get into or the scholarships I would have been able to apply for. I cant change what happened freshmen or sophomore year to my grades but I am certainly making up for it now. Dual enrolling is a challenge with going to high school the whole day and then still having to work on homework from both school and Mott, but this will help me prepare for college life. Getting some of the general classes I need to get my degree was one of the best things I have ever done. After the summer of 2011 I will be able to be a sophomore at a four year school or stay at Mott and finish my degree. Whatever I choose or can afford I will be more prepared for whats to come.
Being a Senior you basically get away with anything and everything, we are at the top of the school. Its something you wait for your whole high school career. The drama, friends, team sports, and many other things are something you have to look forward to when the new school year starts. The school spirit is always so alive around this time of year because it is football season, we also celebrate homecoming and of coarse all of the events included in that. There are two words to describe the best homecoming event besides the homecoming dance and, that is powder puff! Being a Junior during powder puff you are always chosen to lose, and we did. The score was tied and it was almost the last play of the game but there was a penalty. This penalty we really don't like to talk about because it was a totally legal block but cost us 15 yards and a touchdown. But with that all behind us and now that we have a better idea of what we are doing we should have no problem.
Once football season is over, along with Christmas break, hockey season, and spring break we have to began the final steps to graduating. Ordering our caps and gowns, honors night, swing out, and commencement are those steps that make us high school graduates. This is the next event to be excited about in our young lives, it will be weird to not have to school after summer break all day without seeing the same people you see everyday at school, and to think about things like the next big game or what drama is going on that week. It time we make a change towards our futures and grow up into successful adults.
