As our summer comes to a close we are all dreading the return to school. School means many hours of homework and projects, along with some pretty crazy teachers. The one thing we all do miss about school is being able to spend every day with our beloved friends. For me this next school year will be my last year in high school and I am so excited! Becoming an adult and going to college is coming faster than expected. To all my seniors out there, get ready for this amazing year to come!

Senior year is the next step in our lives to becoming adults. We will begin driving on our own and begin searching for our dream jobs. This year will be filled with ups and downs and many, many memories!

College essays will be written and applications will be filled out. Our dreaded standardized test scores will be sent and our futures will be determined by a bunch of numbers. We will inevitably face rejection but also hopefully face acceptance.

This year will be filled with many achievements and failures. Allowing us to grow once again and help us reach our full potentials. We will be tested and overwhelmed, all to prepare us for the years ahead.

We will learn about new cultures and languages. We will learn how to write resumes and how to perfect our essays. We will learn new skills and gain new experiences.

Last but not least, we will also learn news things about ourselves. Things you can only learn through overcoming challenges and setbacks. Things no one can teach you but yourself.

We must make the most of our year, use our schools and teachers to our advantage, and take this year seriously. There will be though times and many obstacles, but we got this! We will succeed and have a great time doing so! Get ready to have an awesome year!
