Senior Year Research Paper

Senior Year My greatest memory so far in my eighteen years of being on this earth is without a doubt my senior year of high school. It was absolutely unforgettable. My senior year as a whole (which was just last year) was the most fun I’ve ever had in my life and the happiest I have ever been. When I was a chubby little freshman with glasses I thought to myself that high school would be one of the longest time periods of my life and that four years would feel like forty years. But man was I wrong, high school went by in the blink of an eye. My first three years flew by and I was hoping that I would enjoy my final year. On the first day of school in my senior year, I finally realized that I didn’t have much time left and that I needed to make the most of every opportunity or I would regret it for the rest of my life. Needless to say, a lot of great memories were made. Going into the year, I knew that it was going to be good but I did not know how good it was actually going to be. There were many senior privileges at my high school. The big one was that seniors were able to drive to school and were able to park in the school parking lot. Being able to drive and having your own car makes you look at the world in a whole different way. You never need to rely on someone to pick you up or drop you off somewhere, it gives a real sense of independence and it’s awesome. I went to catholic high school and everyday throughout my first three years, I had to wear an ugly blazer but seniors no longer had to wear that Ekbom 2 disgusting blazer and were able to wear a sweater to school instead. That was a great privilege too. I without a doubt came out of my shell senior year and actually started to enjoy going to school. The year was great and everyday was a new memory that was made. My favorite part of the year was by far the baseball season. It was the final season that I had the chance to play with all of my friends. We had been playing together since we were in ninth grade and I just couldn’t imagine going to war on the field without my brothers behind me. We were also very good and most of the seniors were committed to play baseball at their respected colleges. Going into the season our goal was to win a championship and go out on top. The season was a grind to say the least, every day we were going at and becoming better ballplayers. We practiced for sometimes three hours in the terrible early spring weather that were all accustomed to from living in the northeast.

Our chaplain did a great job in leading the prayer service and it was just a great mass. The next day was graduation, graduation was very haunting. In the beginning of high school, I could not wait to graduate but as it became less of a big thing in the future and more of a realistic thing that was coming very quickly I did not want to graduate at all. It all hit me that day, it was over. The people that I spent the four best years of my life with would all be going their separate ways. Graduation was very surreal because it was the last time that we all got together as a class. It was a very accomplishing day in my life and I was very proud of the person I became, but it was also sad because it was the end of an era. Senior year had finally come to a close.

It was all over and it was just one big memory. Senior year was great and I learned a lot about myself and about others. Senior year taught me not to rush life because one day I’m going to look back and realize that I should’ve enjoyed every day rather than being miserable. It was Ekbom 4 just a great time and I was very sad when it ended. But now I am excited for the next chapter
