As my senior year begins to slip away....
When you first become a Freshman, people will tell you
"savor every moment, high school goes by so fast!"
well, they weren't lying.
It seems like yesterday when I walked into my first period class late, on September 5, 2006.
I remember it perfectly, because I was super embarrassed, and I already wanted high school to be over.
But from that moment on, time seemed to have a mind of its own.
I have gained friends, lost some, and a little of both.
And finally, after four years of high school, i've learned something that I wish I would have realized that first day of high school.
You can't judge people based on the way they look, or what you've heard.
Senior year has opened my eyes, and I look at people with a completely different perspective.
Maybe it's because last week I was assigned to write an essay about myself,
and then share it to the class.
Not only did I learn that I don't know who I am, but the way people opened up during their presentations fascinated me.
I had no idea that the people, who I had known since freshman year, had so much to offer.
I never took the time to be open minded, and I regret that now.
It could also be because when I attended the Talent Show last Friday, that quiet kid who always kept to himself, completely blew the croud away with their guitar and vocal skills.
I know that everyone has a little good and talent in there somewhere, it's just hard to see when you don't open your eyes.
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
It's not easy to be me.
