Hey, y’all, and welcome back to Teen Scene. This month, I am going to share everything I learned from my junior year in school and what I am looking forward to during my senior year in school. Let’s talk about it!!
There are so many things you can learn at school. I mean, that is the whole purpose of it, but most people do not realize that you can also learn so much about life. During my junior year of high school, I learned more about myself and life than I ever expected. It was one of the most intense years I’ve had so far, not just because of the academic pressure but because of all the personal growth I went through. I had to really learn how to manage my time and prioritize what matters most to me. With harder classes like physics and composition, I realized that sometimes effort matters more than instant success and that it’s okay to struggle as long as I don’t give up. I also learned how to be more independent and responsible, especially when it came to making decisions about my future, like researching more about Oklahoma State and thinking more about what I might want to do after high school. But the biggest lessons weren’t in the classroom, they were in the relationships I had. I started to see who was genuinely there for me and who wasn’t, and I learned that it’s okay to let go of people who don’t bring positivity into my life. I became more confident in setting boundaries and standing up for myself, even when it was hard. Junior year taught me that life won’t always be easy, but I’m capable of handling more than I thought, and that growth often comes from the toughest moments.
For my senior year, I am so excited about a number of things, like May Fete, senior season, and senior assassin. I have been waiting for the day I run for May Fete court and get to wear a pretty dress the queen picks out. Being one of the pole winders is really fun but walking in the park with a big bouquet of flowers and a gorgeous, long dress is even better. I know I talk a lot about my sports as well, but your senior season is always the most exciting and the most heartbreaking at the same time. Yes, I will never get to ride on a bus to meets and tournaments with my teammates again, but I will get to cherish those memories for my whole life. We also get so many cool gifts, like custom-made blankets and pretty banners that I cannot wait to show my kids someday. Senior assassin is a fun game some of the seniors play where you each pay around five dollars to enter. The person in charge holds all of the money until the game is over and chooses all of the players’ target at random. Your goal is to get your target out with a water gun, water bottle, etc. The last person standing wins all of the money!! I have been helping a couple of my friends this year, and it is already so fun.
