The first quarter is now ending and it’s been filled with ups and downs. The older I get, the less time I have here through my high school days. Recently I’ve just learned that quarters are like lessons. Through your four years of high school those 16 quarter classes will all go away but they were never made for learning they were made for lessons. You may even be like why is that? Well during those quarters for the four years of your high school journey you will learn your achievements aren’t just learning how to work and be on time for things that you can use for the future, that’s what a teacher will say but from me a student, I can say its more than that you learn about dealing with hardships, not wanting to go to school, and learning how to go to school with acting nothing happened a hour to a day before that.
You make your high school journey how you see fit. Be yourself, don’t change for anyone and you will be okay. If you can now tell this story isn’t just a story about the quarter ending its about life as a high school student and advice I can give people who may feel lost or not knowing what to do. Now that I am a senior in the class of 2025-2026 I can say it isn’t so bad like how the movies made it seem. Definitely some crazy stuff can happen, but you have to live your life and enjoy your time in high school because it goes by fast and its the only 4 years you really get and after that you’re on your own.
