Personal Narrative of 6 weeks
I cannot believe I am writing my final personal narrative essay for the 6 weeks , it seems as if yesterday I was struggling to write my first one. This six weeks has really made me recall all that has happened sophmore year. It was a great year , I feel like I really came into my own and discovered what kind of person I am becoming. Going into Junior year I have realized I have changed completely. Freshman and majority of sophmore year my life revolved around cheerleading and ironically enough I no longer cheer. No longer cheering has made me branch out and meet new people that arent cheerleaders or dancers . It has even changed what I do with my time. I no longer practice toe touches , scales and scoripions now I chill with my friends almost every day and party every weekend. I am going to be a lfieguard this summer once I get certified . I have almost completely mastered driving . I am much more independent. I have focused much more of my time on school , no longer cheering has brought me into my own. Although I do miss it. This six weeks was basically nothing but testing and final exams. It went by so quickly it is unbelievable . Final projects are what most of my nights consisted of this six weeks. I have done countless number of powerpoints and poster boards. This six weeks involved alot of focus because it was very tempting to just slack off and chill majority of the time. Yet I wanted to get the passport out of Skyline May30th and I did achiveve it! I am very proud of myself. I wasn't sure if i would get one or not but I figured my hardwork would pay off in the end and it really did ! My summer starts two weeks early , so I can prefect my tan and get a new summer look . This summer I plan on being one of the best ever! I am so glad it is the last six weeks. It has been a long year , even though it went by so fast ! I feel like I really changed this year and I somewhat know what I want in life now . This six weeks , has been such a relief the last six weeks of the year. The most rewarding part of knowing I made it to the end is summer! Endless amounts of sleep it feels like I will have this summer and parites! This six weeks I had all my work together and didn't have to play catch up. I am so glad I could just cruise this last six weeks. I will truly miss my cluster class with my main girls and other core classes , I met some really cool people this year and formed great friendships. This has been a great year , my sophmore year. Now I'm just ready to be a junior , I'm in the class of 2015 and cannot wait to be a junior. After that its a senior. I'm just taking it step by step for now though !
