Another school year has gone by, but this one for some reason is very different and amazing. There are times when people enjoy going to school and this was one of those years. People say that your high school years are some of the best years of your lives and I am starting to believe in that. I want to do and achieve as much as I can, so when I look back there are no regrets. There is a famous quote “What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child.” By George is how I feel after this school year. Knowledge would be after me, but now I am after knowledge.
Another year of school had started and I was very enthusiastic to go and meet all my teachers. This year’s teachers were all so different and kind. Several of my teachers had thought in a different manner, but I learned from all of them. Last year when I was a freshman I could not nearly write as well as I can today. I really like the idea of blogs in my English class and computer’s class. In a way I learned how to use the internet better for sharing creative ideas. I don’t recall a teacher ever telling me good job and shaking my hand, but that happened this year. I have come a long way in reading, science, Algebra 2, Computers, Spanish, history, sociology, and especially writing. I have written more essay’s then probably my whole middle school years combined.
I have grown academically, but this year I grew physically. I can still remember when I was about four feet eleven. Then, something happened and all of a sudden I stand now five feet six. Growing physically just doesn’t mean that people get taller, but all kinds of things change like your face, start to grow hair, and get muscle. Last year I could have barley benched tens on each side, but after a year of hard work I have gotten that up to twenty fives on each side. Now I can probably hit harder for football and maybe achieve my dreams of becoming a professional Football player.
The greatest thing that I learned this is that humanity is a danger to this planet. All humanity has done for the past generations is cause damage, kill other living things, miss up the life cycles of animal, Forest fires, take over other animals soil, and recently spill thousands of gallon of oil into the ocean. Humanity is going to be this first creature that destroys themselves with their own hands. I have never in my fifteen years of living seen a dog fight another dog because of his or her color. So why do humans do that, they have so much knowledge, but they still ripe each other apart. I have also learned that everybody has a voice that one vote can make a difference.
This was a year of knowledge being a benefit. I can now love where I come from even though most people don’t respect that, but at least I know that I come from a great place. I can breathe freely knowing that I have accomplished a lot this year. I have reached my goal of having a 4.0 GPA. Now all I see ahead of me is a great life full of passion, and knowledge. Going to Penn State to play football, and become a doctor, which will make everybody that I know and love proud. I see a great future and nothing holding me back. Now I await the adventure of my next school year.
