High School

When I was in middle school I was so excited to head into high school finally, because it meant I would be closer to graduating and go into the real world. Everyone in my family always told me to enjoy every memory I make in high school.

But my first two years of high school were a nightmare for me, I got made fun of a lot, I just didn’t fit in with the team I was in, and so I decided to leave it by the time it was my third year in high school. No, I wasn’t running away from my problems, I was just getting rid of them, and honestly leaving that team of mine and joining a whole new school activity was the best choice I ever made during my time in high school.

Unfortunately for me I never enjoyed high school from day one exactly, but I eventually did start to enjoy it. I was still growing up, and although there was a lot of issues my first two years at that school I knew I would eventually enjoy some part of school. It’s going on 3 years since I graduated, and what my family told me back then still stays in my mind because I do catch myself having that nostalgic feeling when I have some time to relax.

There are parts in my memory where I think of what I could’ve done in the moment to make the situation better for me. But that’s life, now I’ve learned from those incidents, and now being a young adult I’m taking those lessons with me. If you can get through your teenage years, remember all the lessons you learned during those years, and bringing them with you into your 20’s it is a huge guidance tool that I believe everyone should use.

Because honestly as much as we wish to be grown up already, being an adult can be scary. Enjoy being a kid or teen while it lasts for you, and make as many memories as possible.
