Junior year… has definitely been the worst year of my life. Academically, it was the about the same as all my other years in school. I've put all my energy into school, and as always, it's paid off. So to remain stagnant in that sense is a good thing. However, I have suffered so much loss in my personal life. Stressors have shown up all throughout the year, each one more devastating than the last. And even as hard as it has been for me, some good comes out of it. I realized that even when I go through rough patches, I am still able to shake those problems off long enough to focus on what really matters for me, which right now is doing well in school. And its success like that that outweighs all my failures.
With that being said, I'm ready for a long summer vacation. Although I've already had some time for me, I'm already craving more. That's why a little over a month ago, I decided I wanted to take about a month long vacation at the beach, as my grandparents spend half of their summer in Gulf Shores, Alabama. That's a whole month away from this city where all my problems are. A whole month in one of the most beautiful places in this country. Relaxation is something I desperately need at this point, and I can't think of a better way to reach that bliss.
My goals for senior year all involve a better year. One without so much stress. One with a little more happiness, in and out of school. So academically, my goals are the same. I want to continue working hard and doing my best. And that hard work will (hopefully) get me into a good college somewhere. As far as my personal life goes, I can only hope that things will get better. Many of the bad things that happened to me this year were out of my control, so the only thing I can do is put a better faith in my hands, and hope for a better year. And I will deal with these and future difficulties the best I can…
