The day has come, where you enter your senior year of high school and boy does it make me feel old. You are always going to be my baby brother and I am not sure how you are already a senior, but you have one of the best years ahead of you so don't rush it away!
My advice for you is simple, take it all in! Don't rush yourself through your last year of your high school career because soon it will be over, and you'll find yourself on a fast track to the adult life.
You will do great things, and I can not wait to see all that you achieve in this world. You have gone through a lot and are still just 17, but I know you will always come out on top. As you begin your senior year of high school please remember that there is so much more to life than high school, and a rough day, or even semester there will not define you. With this being said you should still give it your all and prepare yourself to work hard in all that you do.
Please remember to always hold your head up and work on being the best you that there is. Laugh with friends but also push yourself to success, and to maybe learn something new.
I know right now you still think you know everything and we argue because it drives me insane, but I think you will get over this phase soon. (I hope so at least) And when you do, you will realize that the people, like me, in your ear about doing and not doing certain things only want the best for you and have already experienced the rewards or consequences of certain things and so they want to pass their knowledge down to you.
I am so beyond proud of the young man you are becoming and am glad to have you as my brother. Continue to be you, the world is yours, reach for the stars.
Xoxo.
