The End That's Also A Beginning

Well, this Sunday my high school days will officially come to an end. It is probably the most bitter-sweet feeling in the world. I am very excited to be done and to move on to a new life, in a new place, with new friends, new experiences, and new memories. But also, I am extremely sad to leave everything else behind. I loved high school. I had so many amazing experiences and created lifelong memories. There are friends I have had since seventh grade, who I will barely ever see anymore, so it is hard to decide what I'm feeling at this point. Somedays I am happy and excited; others I am sad and scared of what's to come.
After four years at Blue Valley High School, I have to say that I am proud of everything I accomplished. I only got one B in eight semesters, so I was always on the principal's honor roll. It took a lot of time, hardwork, and stress, but I pulled it off and came out alive. Besides, academics, though, I stayed true to who I really am. I was honest, compassionate, respectful, hard-working, and responsible. Obviously, I made some mistakes and have a few minor regrets, but, overall, I am very satisfied.
I am definitely excited for this summer. I want to make it the best time of my life, but I know it is going to fly by faster than the blink of an eye. In August, I will be moving in at K-State University. Again, I don't know if I'm more excited or more terrified. Right now, I am planning on majoring in Accounting and Minoring in Spanish. I did get accepted into the honors program, so my classes will probably be difficult, but I am pretty sure that my college career will turn out to be a success, as well.
Finally, as high-school is so close to the end, I just want to thank everyone that has supported me over the years. I could never have achieved everything that I did without the love and support of my family, so thank you. And remember: this is just the end of one chapter of my life; there are still many more to be written.
