High School
is over tomorrow.
Like everybody else, I had my highs and lows during these four years. It’s one of those things that people barely take the time to enjoy until it ends and we realize we took it for granted. We got used to the routine of seeing certain friends in the morning, talking about our weekends, planning outings, complaining about class - all of that is over…for good. But that’s okay because I am able to look back on it all fondly and feel satisfied with my time in high school that shaped me into who I am today. Besides, the friends that matter will always stay in my life.
I was (un)fortunate enough to go through sickness, and because of this I have learned who my real friends are (ha way to look at it glass half full). That’s the reason why I feel so easy about graduation. I see others anxious or conflicted about tomorrow, probably sad about breaking routine or not seeing classmates ever again, and I don’t share their nerves. I am not afraid of losing the ones I love, and I simply do not care about those who left.
Sometimes I think about last year, where I was, what I was doing, and it amazes me how far I’ve come. I lived in a period of uncertainty for almost a year and found it hard to think beyond what was happening tomorrow or next week or next treatment. I felt guilty and ashamed most days for putting my family and friends through the emotional pain. I don’t really admit that often. But here I am, graduating, going to Berkeley next fall, happy with my life. I think it’s about time I am proud of myself.
