Lol I just read my first blog entry and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. My writing skills were so excellent, much talent, very touching.
It’s hard to believe that it’s almost 2019. I remember crying on that day in 2015 when middle schoolers were matched to their high schools. My nose was like Niagara Falls and my tear ducts were violent like monsoon seasons. Some kids were getting lit (Not like A.P. Lit though) and others were 😡ðŸ˜. Our cries in unison were really ugly but beautiful at the same time because we shared a common pain. We did not get into the high schools we wanted. My mom was very unhappy with me and I thought she stopped loving me. I was very sad for about a week but food helped me cope. Additionally, I watched a bunch of K-dramas and K-pop within this time period. Then I kinda moved on with my life. Kinda.
Some aunties talk about the SHSAT today but now the conversation is all about college. They should stop bragging about that sugar honey iced tea because it is not a good conversation starter. Are grades and college the only things they can talk about 😳? Anyway, I’m applying to a bunch of SUNYs, CUNYs, and privates. I cannot do much now because what’s done is done. I got my SAT scores, my extracurriculars, and my 3 years of high school grades. I’ll be rejected by some colleges but I definitely know that also be accepted by others. I think college is overrated but it’s statistically proven that college graduates make more money than high school graduates. Harvard dropouts might be an exception though. Just look at Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. Now they don’t have thousands of dollars of student loans and debt. Oops never mind, they’re too rich to be in debt because of COLLEGE.
I’ve come to love my high school, TAEHS, even though it’s poorly managed by the principal. You have students that keep getting their SHOP classes changed every year, students that are being forced to take Spanish in their senior year of high school, and students that skip the lunch line and get away with it! AND BOIII HAVE I GOT A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THE COLLEGE OFFICE!! You learn about deadlines and important information by word of mouth rather than notifications from the college office. The college office and school really needs to work on informing seniors about vital college app information. The seniors at Edison are so lost and have no idea what to do. But other than those issues, my high school experience at Edison has been AMAZING. I met a lot of cool people and I learned how to step out of my comfort zone. I performed KAL HO NA HOOOOO on Karaoke Night which is something I never would have imagined myself doing 3-4 years ago (and the crowd was awesome and supportive!). I even traveled to Syracuse and Texas for the HOSA Spring Leadership Conference and HOSA International Leadership conference, respectively. I stayed overnight for a few days away from my home. I used to think I would have to get married first before staying away from home but hey it happened. A lot firsts were reached right here in high school and I’ll never forget them. High school helped me grow into a strong, young woman (I have the gastrocnemius muscles to prove it).
