Year 2010

For years I've heard that I was the class of 2010, but until I got to highschool, it didn't mean anything to me. Now that 2010 will be here in a few hours, it means everything to me. It means I've barely got five months of high school left. And although high school was nothing short of hell, I tear up just thinking about leaving the friends I've made. But at the same time, it excites me. I'm ready to move on to become a new me. Someone who isn't so confused about who she is and what she's good at.

All the same, high school has been a good experience for finding out who I am. Over the past few years, I've learned a lot about myself that I never knew before. I learned that my conscience is very strong and it feels guilty easily. Saying sarcastic comments, although funny, make me fee so guilty that I always have to go back and apologize. I've learned that things like scholarships won't be handed to me just because I think I'm smart or my parents think I'm smart. I have to get off my lazy butt and do it for myself because no one else can help you.  I've learned that I have more options. Law has always been at the forefront of my mind. I never thought I had a backup, but I now I see I could be an English professor, a writer, a journalist, an editor. The possibilities are endless, and now I'm not quite sure what path I want to choose in life. I just know I want to write. And that's another thing. I've learned my passions. I never knew I was good at anything until I started to write and see how high my grades in English were. It's just something that seems to come naturally, and now when I'm not reading, writing, or thinking about either of those two activities I just feel empty.

High school wasn't the only good experience though. 2009 was a great year for me even though it had it's up and downs. I'm going to miss it. And the funny thing is, I know exactly what I was doing at the very start of 2009. Reading the Hunger Games. I lost track of time, and my sisters called thirty minutes into the year to wish me Happy New Year. I was so confused. But you know what,I think I'll remember that New Year for the rest of my life. Especially since it gave me an idea for a college essay.

Anyway, I'm going to go. That's all I have to say on this matter for now, but I will be back to talk about my resolutions. I plan on going through with them this year. Last year, revolution wise, I bombed it. I won't do that this year.
