The first day of school is typically dreadful; syllabi, waking up early, and having responsibilities

Sad that summer is over and having to spend time crunched in a classroom

Instead of being outside with your friends

However this year wasn’t the same 

The last first day of school where I might not see most of these people again

I not only feel excited to finish high school 

But also sad as the four years have flown by

The things and people that I will miss dearly

Anticipation builds up for the next chapter of my life

As graduation moves nearer and nearer

Starting college applications and thinking of independence

Living away from my family for the first time in my life

It all sounds scary however,

I know I will have fun and it is crucial for my growth as a person and for my career

Eager to move on and try new things

I am excited
