Where Has Time Gone?

“Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.” - Christine Gallego. 

This quote is very meaningful to me. It says that if one does not live every day to the fullest then you might miss out on something that you can never experience again. Just like the song “Don’t Blink” by Kenny Chesney, time goes by very fast. I can relate to this song and quote because I can remember like it was yesterday, how I just started my freshman year of high school and now I am approaching the end of my junior year and soon to be a senior. 

I sit back and think how much I can’t wait to be out of high school, but then again I think about all the memories and I know I will miss it very much. One thing I have learned from all my teachers I’ve had so far during high school is to not give up on my dreams. I know it will be a long, hard journey to fulfill my dream as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner but I am ready for the challenge.

If I could give any advice to an incoming freshman, it would be to not worry about the past because time is too short. All the drama needs to be left in middle school because once you get to high school it’s a whole different story. They’ll be just like me one day, looking back, wishing that it was still their freshman year of high school. No matter how much I say I hate school, I know I will miss all my teachers and, more importantly, all the friends I have made throughout the years.
