Senior year

Senior year: first game of the region tournament. The gym was packed. The student section was the largest it has ever been and they were roaring. I was two points away from scoring my 1,000th high school career point. Two points. I had just been fouled and was on my way to the free throw line. I stepped up to the line. I said a quick prayer to God that he would let me reach this milestone that I have dreamed about since I was a little girl. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see my Mom, the rest

I resented my Mom for grounding me the first month of senior year. This was the year everyone loves everyone, the year everyone comes together, the fun year. Senior year is the year of letting bygones be bygones, the year you forgive your peers for all the wrongdoings they have done. Or in my case the year to apologize and mend the bridges I set ablaze in my past three years. I was what you would classify as a social climber throughout high school. I worked my way up the social hierarchy stepping

The summer before senior year is when many people attempt to reevaluate their lives, and change anything about themselves that does not satisfy them. One of the greatest motivators for change, is knowing that you should be better. Not just that you wish to be different, but knowing you have fallen short of your own potential. When I observed myself going into senior year, I knew that I had fallen short of my potential—I was not being my best self—and I set out to change that. Running has never

my senior year of high school. However, I can see the pros and the cons in it. The pros of completing a senior year in high school could vary from person to person but things such as becoming mature. Many 16, 17 year old boys don’t know how to wash clothes, cook for themselves, etc. I’m not saying that an 18 year old boy does but they are more mature. A senior year in high school could help them learn what they want to do in their career. I had no idea what I wanted to be until my senior year during

would want to be that little girl again. With senior year beginning I’ve been getting hounded with college emails and universities calling to invite me to visit. Having to make the decision of where I want to go to college, what I want to study, and how I’m gonna make all that happen while still being in high school and getting treated like a child is a bit overwhelming. I never realized how overwhelming and stressful senior year would be. “Senior year will fly by”-everybody. I never believed it until

As a senior I hope to accomplish many goals, some of them being in high school and some relating to college. A goal is an aim or a desired result, but may not always be achieved. Going into senior year I have aspirations of going to a good college and working for higher grades. Your senior year of high school seems like the most stressful year of them all. In my senior year my goal is to be accepted into all of the colleges I would like to apply to. I would like to apply to five schools currently

to every student. Students attend multiple subjects in a day, every year, for their entire high school education. They’re taught such a variety of courses to maintain well rounded and to expose them to countless different types of jobs. However, there comes a point where the student needs to specify his or her future degree. This should be best during their senior year to prepare them for college or how the real world works. Seniors should be further exposed to possible future careers of their choice

congratulating you on making it to this point in life because I know it was not easy. Being a senior is not as fun and easy as everyone says. This year will be filled with nothing but stress and work. Believe me when I say you are going to want to drop out on numerous occasions this year. At times, teachers, students, and administrative staff will not make the thought of dropping out any better. But this year you will discover who you are and who you want to be. The roads may seem dark but you will

Hey Mrs. Threatt! I am so excited to have you as my English teacher this year and I can not wait to tackle all the stresses of senior year together. To start off about me, I have always lived in North Myrtle Beach. Most of my friends say that they do not like living here, but I love living here and I feel very lucky that this is where my parents chose to raise me. I live with my mom, sister, brother and stepdad in Cherry Grove. Since my dad lives in Sumter, I get to see him every now and then on

This year has definitely been a roller coaster. From the first day there have been some good days, some bad, some easier than others and days I didn’t think I could finish the year. Not everything was has I hoped it would be, I lost a lot of important people in my life; not so much physically but more so emotionally. Friends departed different ways and family became a more difficult to be around. Aside from all of that, I can reflect on senior year and say that my life has changed for the better
