 I am actually excited for graduation. All these four years in highschool have been really fun, honestly. Each year is different from the other but it has been part of me growing into who I am right now. I’ve met many new people who have each been a part of my highschool life. I think I’ve changed a lot from freshman year to my senior year. I’ve just been really excited knowing I’ve made it and didn’t give up even though I was struggling a little I still was able to not give up on myself and also seeing about all the other seniors i’ve known for most of my life now be able to graduate and go on ahead to college and move on in life. 

I think some of my proudest accomplishments from my highschool years have been small little things here and there, nothing really big honestly. I guess some academic achievements wou;ld be passing my classes (most of them) with A and B’s, or all those rotc awards and ribbons I have received. Some personal accomplishments would be not giving up on myself even though it was hard sometimes I still managed to continue. High school has plenty of obstacles and challenges for everyone, and I think some challenges I faced throught my years would be friends. There were a lot of people I have met and also lots who I decided to be stuck with.

Some lessons in high school that I have learned would be choosing what you want to do has either both good or bad consequences in either finding friends or personal things. An advice I would give my younger self would be to be more responsible, so things could have been easier and also being more outgoing and not so shy. My hopes and dreams for the future are being able to go to college and complete my studies so I can find a job that will help me live happily and comfortably.

Some fears I have about my next steps after graduation are actually fitting in in college, like making friends and being able to be friendly. Some personal qualities I want to continue to embrace is being myself, and being outgoing, and being able to take risks and not hold back.

Some that have influenced me the most for my first three years of high school would be Aranza, she was a well known person that I had always looked up to. I liked the way she was involved in many things liek Hope and she was really friendly wth others and outgoing. She influenced me by making me realize that I can also be like that person as well.

Some specific goals I have for myself for the next five years would be actually graduating college, or if not still continue to study. I think another goal would be having a good job. I think moving forward in life I have to work hard and not let myself fall out of place and make decisions that would affect me. 

Lots of things have happened and lots will probably change, we never know what's going to happen next but we should live and see what the future holds for us. High School has taught me a lot about life with friends, responsibilities, and many other things. I hope to do great things and to not give up. :)
