Graduated

Today was my last class in high school. I've been counting down the days, but didn't really realize what was happening until last night. Lit. class was funny today, but when it came time to log off for the last time, I DIDN'T WANT TO! It was so hard to disconnect. Right after class I took my last test. It is such a bittersweet time. I'm happy and excited to see what happens next in my llife, but also sad to see that school is over. Although, I hated the high school crowd. I loved school, but everything that comes with high school, I'M HAPPY TO GET RID OF!

Looking back over this school year, I've seen God do a lot in my life. It started with simpe Bible devotions everyday and slowly transformed into me growing up quite a bit. I was able to take on the responsibility of an Awana group, see my prayers answered in unimaginable ways, and see how God is present in my life everyday. Going through school was hard. Algebra 2 proved difficult and I was almost positive I was going to fail, but I didn't. Advanced Composition through The Potter School was my hardest class and I remember being so downhearted everyweek about it, but now I see that it has really helped me and I'm thankful for my teacher. Critizism isn't easy to take, but it builds a better person. Liturature Survey was my favorite class. Talking to my friend from last year and making new friends this year. Carrying on conversations like married people with a few guys from the class. Those conversations started when I played Kate, the Shrew, in Taming of the Shrew by Shakespeare. It was fun, but I learned how to read between the lines and pull apart pieces of liturature. My teacher was such an encouragement everyweek and honestly, since it wasn't on a Monday, I think that made class even more enjoyable.

What is next for me? Well, this summer I'm pretty free. On June 12 I am taking the ACT for the first time and then later in June I'm taking my Permit test. Other than that my summer is pretty chill. There will be some visiting between my family going on and some small trips here and there. Once fall comes, I'll be attending College of Dupage, our community college. I'm taking general education classes just to get them out of the way before going to a big college. A job is in the future, but not until August at the least. I've decided it is time to go through my room and get rid of old things. There is a lot to go through. Right now though, I'm just going to enjoy my bittersweet day in the hot sun.
