With school starting tomorrow for my brothers I've been thinking a lot about my "traditional" schooling. It's quite entertaining to see where I've been in my life. I'm not talking about places, but more maturity, emotional, spiritual(?) growth.
When I was in 5th grade, I was probably at the height of "popularity," which is fairly sad/hilarious because, looking back, I wasn't close to being popular. I thought I was SO cool!!! Whatever! 5th grade was one of my favorite years though. I had a great teacher, and I loved being in class.
Middle School: Hell on Earth. Ha ha! There were many times I felt that way!!! When I was in school, DEFINITELY! Hanging out with my friends aftter school, not so much. I think the biggest reason of why I look back and shutter at the thought of my nerdy 7th grade self is the fact that I tried SO hard to fit in and to be "cool." What is that? What is the point of being in the "in crowd?" Especially in middle school? But, unfortunately, when I was rejected, I tried even harder! On the plus side, I didn't do anything too embarrassing, and even if I did, I don't remember! I also had amazing friends who were always there for me and great teachers who helped me love learning.
On to Senior Year!!! I LOVED that year!!! I don't think I've ever had SO much fun, and worked SO hard in my life!!! Amazing!!! Ha ha! I was a nerd in high school, but by that time, I had accepted it and I didn't care. I had an amazing school family(the orchestra), I watched movies every day in class(Lit. to film, and film studies!!!), and all the other joys of senior year! Plus, my school was thee number one baskettball team in the state! Awesome way to end it! With your senior year comes graduation, definitely in the top 10 happiest moments of my life!!!
Okay, so I like to reminisce in memories of school. Now I want to share my goals for the next couple of years. My goal is to get a grant/student load/any form of money to go to SLCC and take some classes. After I work my butt off there, I will hopefully go to USU. IDK... Sometimes I feel like my goals are rediculous and not worth writing down, or typing, I guess, but I need to have them some place where I can see them.
I am interested to see how my life plays out, whether I have to decide, or whether things are thrown in my lap. We shall see, and I will definitely be excited!
