As my high school career comes close to an end, I cannot believe I actually made through it. Starting from a scared little 9th grader to a lazy, doing-nothing senior, I grew and learned a lot from school. Psychologists say that learning in schools actually improve people’s intelligence. I don’t know if that is true, since some people who graduated high school seems less intelligent than a middle schooler. No matter what it is, I am glad that I got to experience the supposed ‘best time of my life’. There were some ups and downs, of course, everyone has that. But I think the most important thing of all in high school is friends. Friends are everything, when we go ‘out in to the world’. They give you a shoulder to lean on, laugh at your non-funny jokes, and like you for who you are. High school made me define who I am and prepared me to make more connections ‘out there’.
I don’t think it was classroom learning that made me realize all this. I will probably loose about 70% of all the formulas and equations I learned, all the extremely long words I had to memorize, and all the literary terms that I was drilled into my he
ad. But the one thing I will remember is the lunch time talk with my friends, our class’s clown, taking photos of us doing the weirdest pose, the plan to go to Fiji, the serious talks about our deepest secrets…
These memories I won’t forget, because it made me a better and bigger person than I was before. It made me open up my heart to new changes, taught me how important relationships are, and gave me all kinds of memories to base my art work on. High school is such a memory.

awwww..sweet..I feel the same too cindy! Especially for me, its been so long to stay in highschool since I repeated junior year twice even though it is the worst year of our highschool.Oh well, it’s given me so much that I can’t forget when i leave KIS. Even though I always complain about our school and our senior people, when I came to KIS, they were so nice and open to me. If I didn’t have them, I would have not survived 2 years of KIS. It’s amazing how I could make tons of memories in just 2 years. (especially our senior 2nd semester)… haha anyways, i love you all and I will miss everyone. !!!!!!
