As my Senior year is coming to an end, I can't help but look back on all the memories I have made these past four years. There were some good memories, but also some memories that I would rather forget.

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

As I sit here thinking to myself; I have grown so much over these past years. It's crazy to think that I used to be this person that was so worried about impressing other people, and trying to make everyone happy, but over time I knew that life just didn't work that way. As each day went by, I learned to live life the way I wanted to live, and not worry about other peoples opinions about me unless it benefited me in a positive way.

It's completely true that you most likely won't be friends with the same people that you were friends with in high school, and that's okay. As you get older, you start figuring out who has been there for you all along and who has not. There are also those friendships that weren't particularly broken, they just faded away because life got in the way.

I grew from an individual who didn't care about my academics. All I cared about was how many friends I had, and living up to other peoples expectations. But, here I am now. I am surrounded by a group of people who care about me and where I am going in life. Although it may be a small group of people, at the end of the day that does not matter to me. Why have a big circle of people who could care less about how you are doing life, when you can have a small group of people cheering you on as you go through this crazy thing called life.
