__My Life at GHHS__

I always considered highschool as the time before my real life started. This year, however, I realized that my "real life" couldn't have started without it.

In my video I included the main activities I have participated in over the years... __Senior Year__: I went to my first ever sporting event at Green Hope. I usually don't go out of my way to attend school functions, but it was important to see my friends on the girls' lacrosse team play at least once. It was a lot of fun and I wish I had gone to more games! __Key Club__: I joined Key Club during my sophomore year. I didn't really know anyone at first, but soon met the people that are now my best friends (including Adrienne and Katie). Key Club can be difficult sometimes, but it is definitely worth it. Some of my best memories from high school are of Key Club events that I participated in with friends. __AniMall__: This was another place that I volunteered at several times during senior year. I did this for APES (which, as a class, was an entirely different high school experience) service hours. It was a great experience and proved again that everything is better with friends. __Having Fun__: Senior year has been the most fun of all my years at GHHS. I spent more time with my friends than ever and learned that it really is the best way to spend time in general. We always laughed and found things to do, even when just hanging out at home. __Turning 18__: My eighteenth birthday was the most meaningful one so far. It was the official sign that I was an adult and it changed the way I thought about life. Surrounded by a few of my closest friends, I knew that I was making the kind of life I wanted. __Traveling__: I have traveled a lot throughout my high school years. The best travels, though, have been going to unknown places close to home. I've become less scared to explore unfamiliar territory, especially because I know I'm not alone.

The first three years of high school were uneventful for me. Honestly, my senior year has been the only one that I will make an effort to remember. I learned that school isn't the most important thing in life, but that it can introduce you to the people who are.
