What I have learned



High school is somewhere where you can have fun but it is also somewhere where you learn. It’s somewhere where you have to find your true self to be truly happy. Somewhere that makes you realize everything you didn’t know about yourself. You find friends who help you learn how to cooperate with others, which becomes essential in life. You will find “friends” that may lead you to never want to trust anyone again; and you will find friends that are nearly perfect and become the greatest example you can follow!
 I learned as long as you are truly happy it doesn’t really matter what you are doing. Everyone tells us what’s right from wrong, that we know better, that we need to choose the right things in order to succeed, but honestly; your life is YOURS, others can’t tell you what to do with it. If you want to live your life the way you are living it, go ahead! Feel free! It’s YOUR life; make your choices according to what YOU want.
Wherever life takes you, just know it happens for a reason. We’ve all gone through high school not really knowing what was coming at us. We’ve all had our challenges and we’ve all made it through, for some it was extremely challenging to make it but that’s ok, YOU made it through. High school is hard; it’s a stage where people are confused, but it’s a stage that if done right, it will prepare you for what’s ahead.
 Although there may have been plenty of things that you would have done differently, you have to learn to love it. At the time there was a reason for every little thing you did and didn’t do. Even if high school was a stage in your life that you completely hated, you must learn to love every experience you had, whether good or bad, you grew from every single experience.
