So, sadly this is my last blog post at Black River as my High School experience is coming to a close. And while many of us seniors look forwards towards life at college and can't wait to get out, I am really going to miss High school.
While I can understand many people wanting to leave and experience adult life, I am more for high school, or in this case Black River. To start, I think that I'm too used to the idea of high school. I too used to always waking up and then seeing my family and then heading to school, do normal classes, and come home with no care in the world. However, now that I am moving on, I can no longer go back to the simple (if not average) life I'm used to.
Another thing that is really going to make me miss High school is the teachers. Be honest, even if you don't like Black River a lot you can at least admit that there are a few teachers here that were great and that you enjoyed a lot. And while I'm sure there will be more of those in college, I don't know how I can just say goodbye to my current teachers who have taught me well.
Finally, there is this idea that I finally have to start thinking about the future. I'm now going into college and have to think about what my life is going to be like which is really scary. I never had to put a lot of thought into in high school because I was only concerned with high school, going back to the simple life. I know that it can be fun, but it still scares me to think that I am now at this point in my life. Regardless of what happens in the future, my high school experience will be one that I will miss greatly.
Austin, I totally get the conflicted feelings that you expressed in this post. But I guess I would differ in that I am not going to miss high school at all. I think I will miss the routine and being with my family and having the feeling to security in knowing where you are because you've been there for at least four years, but I am so happy to be done. Yet at the same time I am terrified of what being done with high school means and all the transitions and changes that are going to happen so, so fast in the next couple of months. This was a really good reflection for the end of the year, nice work!
