Woohoo!! The first week back was a success....in more ways than one....
As a
senior in high school, entering the new school year felt different: purposeful. It felt like everything I did, saw, heard, felt, meant more. All little things became sentimental. Even though the intimidating cloud of college applications still loomed over my head, I had a clearer sense of self and belonging.
From senior backpacks, parking spots, to senior sunrise, I felt connected.
As I look back on the past 3 years, I am proud to say that I have grown so much. Whether it be in bittersweet ways, I appreciate all of the ups & downs, the obstacles, the achievements; it has brought me here now. I am relieved to put junior year behind me (rough times), but also grateful to have beautiful memories to reminisce.
So, the new year awaits.
