Last Day Of High School

Ringggggggg. There it was, that sweet sound of the high pitched scream yelling that school is finally out for break. John Ross, who had just graduated 8th grade, lived in St. Augustine, Florida, and well he planned on making this the summer of his life. Nothing was going to stop him from achieving the ultimate level of fun this summer. His bucket list was made out already, and the second he got off his bus he was going to start knocking some of those goals off.

I was incredibly excited for spring break; I could already see myself laying on the beach, jamming in the car with my friends and having fun. I was far from what I’ve really lived.

"Things end, but memories last forever." My weekend was sure to prove that. Even though the seniors of 2016 are in readiness to graduate we will most definitely miss these times consumed together. On top of my roof, we sat chattering about what we are going to do after senior year. We discussed about how May 21, 2016, would arrive way before we wanted it to come upon us; once that day comes, we will realize only then that we might never see everyone out of our class again. As we all were articulating about how college will be contrary, how we will study so much more, and how tough it really might be; we promised to never drift apart from the best friends that we are. Finally, two a.m. crept up on us, and we knew it was time to get some

One of the greatest spring breaks I have ever had was last week.I spent time with my Mother,my Daddy,Thomas,and Evil (Evangeline).During that time I cleaned my house,played outside,watched movies with my family,and went to the park.To me what made it so great was all the singing,dancing,going to the park,movies,my family being there with me,and my dad being there at last.One thing I find similar in all breaks is family/friend time.

My head began racing and I could not stop thinking about how I was going to miss out on so many things and miss so many people. I realized I was going to miss prom, the senior trip, senior breakfast, I was going to miss the big landmarks of senior year. But most importantly I was going to miss the small things, the small things like eating lunch with Virginia everyday while blasting music so loud in her car that we almost blowout her speakers, or walking with Enock from first to second hour then second to third while he said something judgmental about me, or making Nick pick me up by my mail box further down the street so my dad wouldn’t see that I really wasn’t hanging out with

In the closing of my senior year, I experienced an emotion that I had not expected. I began to feel overwhelmed by disappointment. The last year of high school was meant to be memorable; unforgettable because of the excitement, not the disheartening moments. And yet, when surveying the previous months, those times were all I could remember.

According to “Obama Urges Students to Pursue Higher Education”, writes by David Jackson, USA Today editorial staff; I agree with President Obama that high school students need to continue the higher education to get a better life for themselves and also for their country. I think the diploma in higher education is really important because by growing of the socioeconomic, almost the jobs today or in future need the higher education workers than high school or GED, such as college or university. Therefore, if the students skip the higher education, they may difficult to get a good job to take care of themselves and their families.

Graduating from high school is important for many reasons. First is so that one can go to college and further his or her education. When one does not graduate high school they will decrease their chance at college. Another reason is that graduating high school promotes job opportunities. With a high school diploma, college is currently an option, along with other universal jobs. Lastly the knowledge learned in high school would not be useful when someone does not graduate, seeing as they will not have a diploma, which jobs requires. In conclusion, graduating high school is an accomplishment in itself, and to continue more achievements graduating high school will lead you on a path to do so.

First I would like to say I had a bittersweet winter break and had a great new year. The first day we had on break I slept in and let me tell you, it felt amazing to wake up with no worries or stress. I spent a lot of time thinking about ideas for gifts and worrying about money. I worked a lot before christmas so I had a good amount of money to spend for christmas. We had family problems that came to an end and it took a tole on me. That was the bad part about my break.

I didn’t get the chance to go out of town. One of the exciting things I got the chance to do is to go to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. They performed really well and it was an exciting thing to see. Another one of my favorite things that I did over break was go to a New Year's Eve party. We ate some delicious food and set off a lot of fireworks. The last of my favorite things that I did over break is spending time with my family. My grandparents came to my house, and we got to relax and watch football.

Over the holiday break, I did lots of fun things. I spent time with family, I hung out with friends, and I went to Branson. I really enjoyed the break and had tons of fun!

I had so many questions! What was even going on? Then it all clicked when I looked back at how this day went. It was a surprise graduation party! When I originally graduated high school back in June, I had been writing full-time so I opted to work instead of planning some type of celebration. All my friends from back home had made the trip up, and almost every close family member was able to make some type of appearance. Since school was quickly approaching, it was wonderful to see everyone one last time before I got busy with a whole new challenge at Curry. At the time, I hadn’t even realized it, but it was like I was closing the book on the childhood portion of my life. Without a doubt, it turned out to be my favorite moment of the summer just because of the element of surprise. Getting told how proud people were of me and that they truly believed in what I wanted to do, will stick out in my mind forever. It was the perfect ending to a summer that would likely be my last, before I entered true adulthood and started carving out my own path in this

Graduating high school marks the transition into adulthood and signifies the beginning of an independent life. From this point forward there's no requirements to do anything, to be anyone, the choice is yours to make. The responsibility for your well being and your future is now solely in your control, you choose your own destiny. In a world fueled and run by currency, my greatest fear for the future is money holding me back and coming in between my dreams and reality.

My summer break wasn’t nearly as fascinating as some of my friends’ were. Many of my friends traveled out of Indiana and went to water parks, beaches, or went camping. I didn’t even leave Indiana. But I’d have to say that I did a few things over summer that I won’t ever forget. On the last day of summer, I realized that what I did over those eight-and-a-half weeks were things I would be able to tell as stories to my kids. My summer break wasn’t fantastic, but it sure was exciting.

This past week I took the weekend off from work, The Fresh Market, because I needed a break. I was just burned out from working two jobs and school full time. I used some of the 120 hours of vacation time I earned. I simply chilled for the weekend and got some much needed rest.
