High School: A time in our lives that sets the mold for who we are going to be in this world.

There in my bedroom did I increase my general sense of literacy , and sparked my curiosity. Since reading had become a passion for me at the time, t was easy to read for hours on end. There did i advance to more complex stories, and greatly widened my vocabulary.

My first year of high school was filled with adventures and difficulties throughout the years.

My life has been a crazy roller coaster with many events that have affected my life all in different ways. There have been times where my life has been at its highest peak in the world then it falls down, right into a deep valley. From the time my lovable younger sister came into my life to when my grandpa had a near death experience, I have learned many valuable lessons through the rough times as well as the more happy times.

I have become a more open and understanding person and I have learned many valuable life lessons. I have made many great memories and I have learned to appreciate everything I have because nothing is permanent. My journey through high school is like a plane ride.

Even though in many ways I am still the same person as the one that walked through those school doors as a freshman, I have also changed in order to try to become the best version of myself and get to my final destination.
