Squashomore No More!

Since it is the last week of my Sophomore year, I want to look back on the things I learned this year.

The 1st thing I learned (and probably the most important) is that boys don't have cooties. It sounds strange that it has taken me up till this point to realize it but I had always been afraid of them until this year. I realized they are fun to hang out with and they make awesome and understanding friends.

The 2nd thing I learned was that it doesn't matter what people think about you. In Jr. High that was all anybody cared about. I always felt like I had to be perfect and always look good. Now however, I feel comfortable in my own skin and enjoy being different from the crowd. It is nice to not feel judged and not being ashamed of who you are!

The last thing I learned was that I have some amazing and very loyal friends! This year was hard for all of us and it took awhile to adjust to high school but my friends were always there for me. Although some of them got boyfriends and a different group of friends, they still cared about me and made an effort! I am a lucky girl!

All I can say is that I am grateful that this year is over and that I made it through! It was tough for awhile but I am really grateful for the things I have learned and the good friends I have made.
