My first day of school consisted of the average thoughts of a teenager getting ready for their last- first day of high school. I spent the majority of the time nervous about who I would still be friends with this year, due to me not even seeing my friends the previous year due to covid. Once I got there everything felt the same, home had felt like home again, and I had nothing to worry about. -
The 7th Day of August 2021, I started my new, exciting journey, of facing high school as senior, I'd been looking forward to senior year since I was freshman, and the day had finally come!

This event shed a bit of light on my early graduate plan, I quickly started to realize afterward that I wasn't as okay with graduating early as I'd thought. -
Over the break, I did a lot of refocusing and rewriting of my plans for my future due to my decision not to graduate in December, I still had 5 more months left to finish as strongly as possible. I'd also just finished my induction to the National Honors Society at East Hamilton High -
During this time, it was essentially grinding, focusing, trying to earn credit hours, doing community service, volunteering, building my resume, and just essentials to getting a start on post-secondary education.

I wish I could have attended prom, in both my junior and senior years. I had so much fun, I seriously enjoyed myself for the first time in a long time. It felt extremely good to be able to let go and be carefree for just one night after all of the sufferings that my classmates and I endured over the past two years. This day was one to remember for me and all of my friends, a day to never forget. -
Graduation day was almost the same as prom day, I had the same nervous jitters, and I had gotten so many texts and phone calls. I was starting to feel overwhelmed before my arrival. There were many emotions roaming the air this day, But I don't think I could have expressed my feelings any more than I did. I smiled from ear to ear the entire day, even through the cries. Best day ever!!
