We are a few weeks into our senior year and so far it has been rather inexplicit. I so have many emotions that are overwhelming me with the start of senior year, that all of it still seems so unreal.
I would have thought that I was going to have more trouble with my schedule, but I only changed a few classes, and there was really no hassle for me there. One of my most difficult classes would have to be physiology. However, the class just challenges me to do more work than I am used to, but so far I am managing to get things done on time. Currently, I am on pace in all classes and as far as I know, to graduate, which is extremely relieving. Right now, I am working on finishing up my journals as far as my senior project goes. I also have to finish up my life map and publish it on my website. Our senior projects are really unique, in my opinion, because I have never heard of any other schools requiring their seniors to do so. I feel as though it encourages us to look back at our high school experience and helps us move forward, and on to the next, which is college. For me, the most exciting part about working on my senior project was my job shadow. I really enjoyed it because it gave me a sneak peek into the field of nursing, and I found it to be very exhilarating. The environment felt right to me, even though I was just getting a look into the field, I felt as though it was the perfect place for me and it made me very anxious for my future. There are countless opportunities that come along with senior year, and it’s hard to decide which I’m looking forward to most! Our senior sunrise was last week (August 26), and I felt it was a good experience for not only me, but my peers as well, to spend small moments together such as watching the sun rise, that lead up to our big one, graduation. However, I know that I must make the right choices, and be responsible in my last year of high school, to not slack off and sell myself short of a successful future. With it being my senior year, I know one wrong choice this year is kind of like a make-or-break deal with graduation and all, and that’s not a risk I am willing to take with over twelve years of hard work. I know I will make mistakes, being a person and all, but I also know that I will do some right. Nonetheless, I feel as though applying to colleges sounds the most appealing to me. Applying to colleges is a big part of senior year and it’s the first step us seniors are taking to begin working towards our career. Even though I know it means leaving everything I am used to behind, it’ll be a bitter-sweet feeling deciding where I will spend the next few years studying. My goal for the near future is to earn my bachelor’s degree in nursing, and become a nurse practitioner.

My emotions towards graduation as of now are bland, for me, it feels too far away to feel any kind of anticipation; however when it hits me I know it will hit hard. I feel that with all of the work that comes with being a senior, my emotions are put aside to focus on work and my anticipation for graduation is clouded.
In fact, none of it has really hit me, as I try to focus on my school work I have completely forgotten that I must also be taking certain measures of my life into my own hands as I will soon have to be living on my own. Nonetheless, I am very excited to see what my future holds for me. Soon I will be going to school to start my career, and who knows what will happen for me after my career begins. I believe that the whole idea of not knowing what the future holds is the most exciting part about life. |
