There are only 16 days left before the school year of
2012-2013 is over. Only 16 days left of calling myself a junior.
This year is a perfect example of how time flies. I have
learned and experienced hundreds of lessons that will impact me for the rest of
my life. Not everything has gone exactly according to plan, but looking back I
wouldn’t change a thing.

I made a major change in my life when I joined the Beulah
High School Cheer Team. Celebrating victory and victory again was incredible.
Getting to know the football and basketball team and learning how determined
and dedicated these guys were, inspired me to never give up until it truly is
over. I’ll never forget all of the joy, memories, and tears I’ve shared with
these people.

I know these aren’t all the important things that have
happened to me, but they are the stories that have stuck out to me the most. My
junior year has taught me to watch what I say. It’s easier to learn through
other people’s stories than your own, and its okay to let go sometimes. Doing
stupid things is part of high school. I know when my senior year comes, I will
make a thousand more mistakes. I’m okay with that though. I’ll just add it to
my list of 16 lessons and keep on moving on with life.
