My Monologue (I know I’m early)

“Congratulations Class of 2012!”

June 25,2012. A day that I will remember. It was my graduation day. It was a day where one chapter of my life was closed and another was opened.

Mom: “These four years will fly by.”

She was completely right. I just was not prepared for how fast they did fly by. It all started in 2007/2008. It was freshman year. I was one student, in a school of 4000 students, trying to adjust. Now, when I look at it, this year was kind of a blur. I was busy making new friends, learning my way around the school, and just trying to keep up with my schoolwork at home.

Sophomore year also flew by. I had my friends, which I went out with any time that I could. This was also the year where people had their Sweet 16 parties. The schoolwork was easy and I did well.

Junior year was the only year that took forever to get through. Since I was told that this was the most important year of my high school career (since colleges would look at these  grades the most), I took on a lot of AP classes. Did they keep me busy? OH YEA, especially AP Spanish Language. I spent many long nights that year staying home and staying up late to study.

Now this brings us back full circle to graduation. A day of triumph. A day where all my work had paid off.

That morning:

Me: “I can’t believe that it is finally over.”

Mom: “Yea, I told you that it would fly by.”

Walking across the stage, shaking my principal’s hand, and walking away with my diploma was one of the most empowering moments in my life. It showed me how hard work really pays off. It was also a reminder. A reminder that I have another four long years ahead of me. Yes, these four years will be the most academically challenging years of my life, but if I work at it, they will yield the greatest rewards.

This is a picture that I would use to describe myself.
