Junior Year Essay

To many high school students, college seems like a far away land, a mysterious place where everyone wants to be yet not many know how to get there. As children, our parents tell us how much time we have to think about college, and that it is too far down the line to think about. The truth is it is never too early to think about your future. I, like many people, put little thought into my future career and now am lost in an unfortunate mix of indecision and anxiety. Not knowing where you want to be in the future is a hard burden to bear.

My favorite part of the day, other than dinner was field class. Field class is a science class like any other but outdoors which made it way more fun instead of sitting in a classroom for 45 minutes just staring at . On the first day I was especially shy and only knew Potato (Bethany) and Pufferfish (Julie) but as the days went by, I started to express myself more with my field classmates and got to know them better. Some we good others not as much. My field class instructor Rae was awesome. She was nice, funny, and always was up for a good hike. I loved playing the game Zap which helped me learn the nature names of others and Camouflage which was just like hide and seek but you had to learn a secret dance move from your hiding spot which I was relatively good at.

Senior year! Every senior is eager for graduation, their making college decisions, taking their SAT tests, getting senior portraits, and looking forward to getting ready for graduation day. Thinking back now, almost every adult told me my high school years would fly by, they were right.

This was the year that I was introduced to Homecoming. I was excited to go because i’ve never went to Homecoming before. I wore a black, body, glitter dress with no sleeves, my hair as a bob, and silver heels. My auntie did my make-up and eyebrows. My family wanted me to make sure I was beautiful that day.

The day of senior prom June 2, 2016 was one of the fun most stressful time of my life. From getting ready, making appointment, taking pictures and arriving there was so irritating. I would most definitely do prom over again. Maybe without all the hassles and annoyance I went through to have the experience. I may be more prepared next time.

I will not bore you with the details, but the summer before my senior year

When I look back on this day now, I still remember every detail as if it was yesterday. I was so proud, and happy to be able to celebrate such an amazing day with all of my friends and family. I know I will never forget how embarrassed I was walking across the stage in front of all of those people, feeling famous after taking so many pictures, making our final memories together at our graduation parties, and then being a nervous wreck when it was time to go out into the world without my best friends at my side.

When we finished our years at college we decided to go travel. We had always dreamed of it and now we had a chance. So we bought two one way tickets to Ecuador that left in a week.
