Year Reflection

First entering senior year, I didn't really care how the year would go; I would slack off in all my classes, be late to my morning class every other day, and not care about anything. Throughout the year I've been slowly climbing out of the whole I dug myself in, throughout the first quarter. I significantly improving my writing each Friday, constantly reading the commentary my teacher leaves me and fixing it, thinking each and every time I have to do better, I have to concentrate and not make the same mistake twice. I have accomplished my goal recently by getting my first 20/20 in my timed writing and I definitely agree that it was one of my best essay I have written this year. My biggest difficulty was finding enough evidence to support my thesis but I accomplished that this time. I would like to further this accomplishment by continually getting 20/20 on future essays. I believe that this skill I have learned will help me in life because everyone needs to write they need to be able to communicate and elaborate to get a point across.

If one cannot properly write and get a point across then miscommunication can occur and on the professional level that is not okay, it can cause mistakes that cost much money to repair or a loss in a opportunity. This is while I plan to go into college trying my best to better who I am now. I will not stop my growth only because it is the end of the year I will continue on for the rest of my life, looking back at this very moment and remembering that nothing that I did was for waste. Although I plan to go into biology and psychology one must be able to express a finding in the most detail on paper otherwise a finding could be misinterpreted or misdiagnosed affecting others’ lives.

Although I have been a senior for a little less than a year it has felt much shorter in my eyes, and yet I feel that I have grown a tremendous amount in this time. I have become an even better student and yet improved in one of my passions soccer. I have become captain of my high school team alongside my best friend and a leader in that hand. I have taken up responsibilities in volunteering which shockingly I have greatly enjoyed from day one, thus making me realize I truly want to go into a profession where I will be first handedly helping others such as a doctor or criminal investigator. Although these jobs have some very negative outcome they are high reward in the sense that one will be saving lives in each and directly helping another human being.

Lastly I would like to state that this year I have had to make some tough choices for my future including where I will go to college, I would love to go through every bit of hardship that I have gone through at this school against, life is too short as many say, though it is the longest thing anyone ever does, well high school was definitely short I remember my first day of school here and how I loved being here. I realized that now during my adolescences/ young adult phase is where the memories that I will carry onto the rest of my life are made, the place where I will have grown the fastest that I will every grow in the rest of my life it will be where I get my first real job, where I’ll meet my possible spouse and many more. This time right now it is the most important though I believe I have grown so much, I know for a fact I have a lot more to grow until the end of my life.
