REFLECTION
GRADUATION is a time for reflection on the labors of the past, the accomplishments of the presents and the possibilities of the future.
As April ends and May begins, I realize that my four years of high school are wrapping up. In high school, I studied, volunteered, and participated in extracurricular activities. I was hungry to learn.Part of me, though, wishes that I had done things a bit differently. Maybe I should have gone to a few more school dances. Maybe I should have experimented with more extracurricular activities to see if I was interested in them. Maybe I should have taken more pictures. Maybe I should have spent more time with my friends.
High school was neither a high nor a low point in my life – it was what I like to call a medium point. If it is a high point for you, great. However, it should never be the highest point. There is a world, a magnificent but scary world, beyond the walls of high school that is waiting for you. I, along with all of the other graduating seniors, will have a chance to turn those “maybes” into realities during college and beyond. You will too. Work hard and follow your heart, but remember that high school is not the be all and end all.
