Forty-five seemingly short months ago, I, along with many others, walked into Apex High as freshmen, uncertain about what the next four years held in store. Now just over two weeks from graduation, I see that high school brought a lot more to the table than what we give it credit for.
Honestly, these four years flew
by. I distinctly remember walking into my first high school class, English I.
That feels like it could be just yesterday. Sure, there are times when school
couldn't have gone more slowly, as we all had classes we hated. In reality,
when looking at the big picture, these four years are just a small portion of
your life. Five years from now, it won’t matter what you wore, what you said,
or what you looked like in high school. The only thing that matters is that
you’re happy with yourself. As I said, high school is just a small portion of
your life, but it’s where we develop an identity. For myself, I sure did a lot
of growing up in high school. I developed an identity, made a name for myself,
and created so many amazing memories that will last a lifetime.
