Turn Back Time





            As my high school life is almost at it's ending point, I've realized that time flies by really quickly. It feels as if just yesterday I entered the Brandies campus and was scared that I wouldn't make any friends. I wasn't ready to let go of middle school and the friends I had before, which was clearly shown in my first progress report. Now that I've completed Junior year it's time for me to become a Senior and be the oldest in the school. No more playing games and not taking school seriously, it's the time for me to think about my future and what career I want to pursue. The fact that I have to start thinking more like a grown up is one of my greatest fears because the idea of growing up still hasn't sunk in yet, but with the help of my teachers I learned to take responsibility for my actions and overcome my fear of speaking to my peers. I learned that I liked when there is a sense of community in school and that I can rely on any teacher to help me with anything. Being at Frank McCourt really changed my perspective of what I thought teachers were like because in the past I was never able to communicate with my teachers on a personal level and get to know them outside the classroom and it's nice to know there are people who have my back. When I thought of going to Frank McCourt I thought of how long it was going to take to get out of here. I really wanted to leave and get everything over with and get to college, but now I wish I could turn back time and go back to Freshman year so I won't have to leave as fast.
