Entry 3

 So as we are coming to end of our high school career we have a lot to think about. Things from college, friends, senior pictures, your desk design, senioritis, and endless more...

 People always talk about how high school is the time where you find yourself. We all went through those awkward stages of puberty, grew taller than others, made new friendships, broke some relationships, got into trouble, got high achievements, and so on.  

I think it’s pretty safe to say I’ve changed since I was a freshman. That means both physically and mentally. I’m kind of like a new person; who’s matured more, doesn’t care so much about her imperfections, and I have realized kindness is the best medicine to survive the high school social atmosphere (as the rather shy girl that I still kind of am...).

I’d like to think that I found myself.

 I have new values. Some that I am very proud of and some that honestly I never thought would become a part of me.

You should ask yourself that.

Have I changed from that first time I walked in through those freshman hallways? I think we can all answer a definite yes to that one. But get more in depth and ask yourself… Who have I become? What’s important to me? Who are my friends or foes? And truthfully, how do you want to represent that new person you’ve become these 4 years in high school. If you don’t know the answers to those questions, it’s fine. We’re still in the process of growing up, even though as we may all be 18 or turning 18 soon, and are considered “adults” in society. But life, well, it is a changing process. We adopt new customs or stick to the values we’ve cherished for a long time… High school has been a changing process. We’ve become new people. Who is that new person?
