Spending four years in High School has taught me many lessons, good and bad, as it will for others to come. You make mistakes and memories all the same and build up a knowledge to prepare you for whats to come, whatever that may be. You take classes, do math, write poetry, paint, all of that. The most important lessons however, can not be taught through a book, they must be experienced. Throughout high school, I have continually changed my style and who I was as a person. However, through all this change, you find yourself, and who you really are or want to be. I know that I am an avid marvel fan and love roller coasters. I can slam a whole container of cookie dough, or eat a dozen tacos. Most importantly family truly means everything to me. My family has stuck by my side through everything and I am greatly thankful for them. Though my real family has impacted the person I am today, so has my little AP Lit family, and Mrs. Hebert, who has truly been an inspiration in my life and always pushes the class and myself to be better human beings.

PrideIf you were to ask me what I take pride in I could say many things. I take pride in my love for horror movies, my dog, and my friends. But the thing I take the most pride in is my newly gained confidence. Up until last year I was a shy "teachers pet". I never really was able to blossom and bloom into an outgoing person because I felt tied down with school, work, family and sports. However, as I started to learn that people need to accept you for who you are and not what they want you to be, I opened up and showed the world my true self. Sometimes I come off as sassy, outgoing, and open; and thats me! I am a quirky girl who loves to be weird and dance around like no ones watching. I love to make people laugh, because others happiness is my own, and I love to be a good friend to people. I went through a lot at the beginning of my senior year and I was stressed out 24/7. I truly do believe that shaped me into the woman I am later today. So thank you, to everyone who has doubted me and the person I was, but I am no longer a sheltered girl.

WritingDeciding what to write can be a tricky and detrimental part to how the work turns out in the end. However my advice is that if you truly write from the heart whatever feeling you may have, the work that comes from that may be some of the best. One of the poems that I wrote, which is also my favorite, was created out of feelings of loneliness and sadness. I will link that below but thats not the point. Never be afraid to write what you feel, or why you feel that way because it creates a poem with depth and direction instead of one thats lost and misguided. If thats the only advice you take from my page, I say it is the single most important piece. Write from the heart.
