My freshmen year I came into high school not knowing what to expect. I had no idea if all that I had heard about high school was true or not. I still can’t believe how fast freshmen year went by. I got my permit in November of my freshmen year and I was so excited to be driving. Sophomore year was more fun than freshmen year but it seemed to drag on longer. Panther Creek had opened that year and it was hard losing several of my friends. I still remember going with my group of friends to the Harry Potter midnight book releases and movie releases. I turned 16 that year and had a classy party that was so much fun; I also got my license in November. I remember how much I loved that freedom of not being dependent on my parents for rides. I hate that we had to take the writing test sophomore year. Summer before junior year I met my current boyfriend. We started dating in September of that year and we are still together. Junior year was difficult because of AP classes and having to take the SAT and start thinking about college. I think junior year might have been my best year in high school. Senior year, 5 AP classes, applying for college, taking the SAT one more time; it has all happened so fast. I still have my same best friends that I have had since 8th grade (most of them some since elementary school) and I don’t know what it will be like with out most of them next year. Most of us are going to different schools but a few of them will be at NC State with me next year. I have enjoyed high school for the most part, but now I’m ready to move on and be in control of my life in college. I can see that I have changed so much since freshmen year and I have become a stronger more self confident person and I see that in my friends too. I am so proud of all that I have done and all that my friends have done and I’m so glad that I have had them by my side the whole way, I couldn’t have done it with out the support from my family and best friends.
