I feel like it was just yesterday when I was doing physical therapy exercises in my living room. But, in nine days I will be a high school graduate. It's really hard to believe how fast the time has flown and how fast high school really went by. I'll be forever happy and thankful that I can look back on high school with a smile because those moments and memories will always be happy one no matter if I always had a fabulous day or not.
Walking into school on my first day of seventh grade, I never really knew how attending such a small school would impact my life. The teachers I would encounter in the next five years would change my life and make me realize how lucky I am to be able to grow up in such a beautiful place and to have gone to such a wonderful school.
As the years have gone by I have been fortunate enough to be blessed with amazing teachers who really care about their students' successes. I want to thank all of the teachers who have taught me over the years because they are the ones who have made high school and school in general that much more enjoyable. I didn't have to always get along with my teachers to know they are the ones who have shaped me into the person I am today. Throughout my school experience, I have been lucky enough to have some amazing teachers who have helped me find my passions and follow my dreams.To all the English teachers at Lake George High School, I cannot thank you enough for helping me discover my love for writing and reading, which has helped shine a light on the career path I want to take in the future.
Another thank you goes out to all the people I have come across over my high school years. Whether we were or are friends, I am blessed to have met all the different people I have over the years. These people I have come across have helped me see what kind of qualities I want in my friends and what kind of people I want and need to be surrounded by to make my life whole.
High school was not always easy and definitely showed me that in life there will always be ups and downs, but you need to embrace them. When life throws you a curve ball, you need to catch it with open arms and deal with the curve ball or card you are handed. The hard times I had in high school really helped me see that in every situation there is always a positive thing you can get from it if you take the opportunity. When you think positively, your whole outlook on life can change. By being positive throughout high school I was able to make amazing memories and friends that I will always keep near and dear to my heart.
