Graduation...

I've realized that I always want what you don't have, and that I have never really appreciated what I have at the moment. Back in freshman year I was thinking that school was going by really slowly and that each day was a chore. After each semester went by, I figured out in my head the fraction of highschool I had left. ex. 7/8, 3/4, etc. This process went of for two years until I finally reached the halfway point, and felt a sense of completion. Only in the end of junior year did reality hit me that I would only have a summer and one more year before I graduated from high school. Back in freshman year I wanted to be a high and mighty senior and get out of the house and go to college. Now in the present day, I am a high and mighty (not really) senior who has less than two weeks of high school. I would love the chance to go back to freshman year and start the process all over again because I am more knowledgeable and willing to take more chances. Actually I feel high school started to be fun during junior year because we were given more opportunities such as going off campus without getting demerits, and the senior dining room. If I would give one phrase of knowledge to the freshman, it would be, "Enjoy your time in highschool because it really goes by fast." I remember seniors during the time that I was a freshman told me this and I thought nothing of it. I wish I had accepted this knowledge for what it was and enjoyed every day of school.
