I made it. FINALLY.
I've been waiting for this day to come.
Today I would like to express my reflection on my senior year. I'll tell you one thing, it was unexpected (expect the unexpected). ALOT can happen in 4 years, even in a year or less than that. Just know anything can happen. This year may have not been perfect for me, but it was definitely something to remember. I learned a lot about myself and what I'm capable of. I have to admit I'm kind of glad things turned out the way it did. Things happens for a reason. I've been having a hard time on how I'm going to write my reflection (I started this about two weeks). I have never done anything like this before, so please be patient with me. :)
What I really like about this year was that I found my true friends. That's what I've been struggling since freshman year. I realized that you don't always have to talk to your best friend everyday and you can still be closer than ever. I also learned that you don't need a lot of friends. You just need like 1 or 2 best friends and a few close friends. I mean it's up to you if you want several friends. Just be careful and don't give away your trust too easily and don't get your hopes up. I believe that you should be friends with people that respects you, your decisions, lifestyle, and morals/values. And they also wouldn't put you in a situation where you wouldn't feel comfortable such as peer pressure. They would support you and radiate positive vibes and bring out the good in you. They make you forget to look at your phone. Those are your people.
Being able to stay true to myself is something I am extremely proud of, even though there were some friendships that I thought were going to last a lifetime didn't last very long, because I wasn't "cool" enough. Of course I was upset and had several terrible days at school wondering, what was I doing wrong? But soon I realized (took me awhile), why fit in when you were born to stand out!!! It's their loss for not wanting to be friends with me. I know I am worth more than toxic friendships.. It gets better, it really does. You just have to focus on what matters and go with the flow and soon pieces will start to fall into place. You'll start to realize why your relationship with those people didn't work out. Patience is the key.
May 26, 2015 was my high school graduation. It was an once of a lifetime event that I didn't want to go, but ended up going, because the most caring people in my life were telling me how much I should go, because this event was very very important to me and to them. It's a really huge accomplishment. To tell you the truth, I'm glad I went to my graduation. I probably would have regretted if I didn't go. It was a nice closure. I didn't realize how amazing it was to hear your full name being announced to hundreds and possibly thousands of people until that very moment. It felt good. Guys, please go to your graduation of any kind. You worked hard for it, so you deserve your recognition. I saw my graduation pictures last night and it turned out so beautiful. I couldn't be more happier!
