Where The Circle Ends

Forever Young

It’s over;

high school is over.

Done. Ended. Finished.

I just can’t believe it. The very experience and emotions seem rather surreal, for to this day, I still remember my first day of high school. Heck, I even remember my first day of junior kindergarten. And now, within a little over one hundred days, I’ll have my first day of university.

But alas, where has it all gone? Was high school how I expected it? Any surprises? If I could revisit my expectations of it, about four years ago, I’d want to. I’m curious to see the astronomical change within myself physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and more.

High school has been quite the adventure. It’s definitely the most memorable four years of my life as I’ve grown as a person, and met many people who have influenced me into being the person I am today. Without them, I wouldn’t be even remotely close to where I am today.

The entire experience was immensely different from what I expected. Four years ago, I didn’t know a single person out of the twenty-five hundred. High school back then seemed mysterious, foreign and unfamiliar. Now? It feels comfortable, friendly and inviting. Without a doubt, I’ve become used to the familiar faces in the hallway, the presence of friends upon entering the cafe, and knowing all the secretaries in the office.

So as a result, it’s now university that possesses the looming mysterious quality. However, my approach will differ tremendously from before. As of right now, I’m absolutely prepared to go into university confident, radiating a smile and my head raised high. I’m all for the challenges of university, whether they are academic or non, and regardless, I know that with my attitude, I’ll manage.

With this being said, the chapter in my life titled high school has just finished, and now I’m going to take a one-hundred-and-three day nap, before I take on the next chapter.

It’s title?
