Cruel awakening

Location

It is said highschool is the best time of your life

Young and full of life.

Great memmories and stories can be shared from the 4 years.

But I have come to the harsh realization that High school is so much more than what meets the eye.

The truth is, if you're not ready and commited to your education... things and opportunities slip from right under you.

From my own experience until this point in my life as a senior.. I am completely terrified at what my next step in life will be

where will I end up

what is going to happen to me

and then I realized, if I had just done more for myself the past 3 years, I would'nt be in this situatuion.

the truth is, I did this to myself.

No one is to blame but me...

It use to be so hard to admit when something was my fault, but as time progressed,

The truth became clearer, I am my own savior... In order to be helped I have to help myself.

And its a shame that it took me this long to figure it out.

But I am learning... Im clearing out my life.

And Im setting a path for myself,

A path for the future.

And I know now I can make it, I have it in me. 

It's only a matter of what I'll do to get there.

My advice for upcoming freshmen.

You might hear it often... but it's true

High School... is no joke.

Treat it as if your future depened on it. Because the truth is... it really does.
