As I'm sitting down trying to figure out what to write, I just want to say I am grateful for all the memories and experiences I've had during my time at Fresno High. It's finally my time to say goodbye and move on to a new chapter in my life. I remember being a freshman with a big group of friends and now as a senior I am alone most times. It's so crazy how high school really does prepare you for the real word and teaches you so many lessons.
Senior year was my favorite year. I am not friends with most of the people I came in with, but I always enjoyed our time together.
Not only were we a big group at school, but we always went out and had so much fun. One of my good times at Fresno High School was my freshman year, even though it got cut off early because of Covid, which sucks, but I am glad to be able to walk the stage.
When I came back to school for my senior year, I wanted to make it the best year, but again it was a new start, and I caught myself getting setback again, but like always, I picked myself up and am still pushing myself to finish strong. All this can be tiring and stressful, and I still must go to school all day and get good grades.
There are times when it feels like it is too much. I know I bring some of this stress and anxiety to myself. I may have a touch of OCD when it comes to cleaning; I'm up till 3 in the morning cleaning the house. The school offers counseling, and the REC is no longer a place for just naughty children, but a place that can help with social and emotional needs. I am barely managing to pass all my classes right now. Threatening to take privileges is not an effective way to help struggling students.
