I definitely have been thinking about my high school career this year, since I'm a senior and all. So. I'm going to have a blast from the past entry. :)
Freshman year, a great year. Meeting new people, learning about life, taking easy classes. The summer right before freshman year we went to Mississippi on a mission trip. That was definitely a great trip, could have been better, but I learned so much about myself. Marching band became the greatest fun, and the trips were the greatest. Solving so many problems, causing a few, and just learning more. Of course, who could forget the time when Clayton and I dated. hahah. that was epic. an epic goofup.:) I discovered the love of theater, and the love I had for others that year. I miss my freshman year.
Sophomore year was hard. A big year of transitions. Harder classes with more people than just freshman(YIKES) and becoming who we were. I became really close with my friends that year, and I'm still really close to them. I miss those times. MORP, walking around Jbu, 16th birthdays, Orlando. All those great times. I changed a lot that year. I learned how to be myself, to speak up about my opinions, how they need to be heard. I grew to know Christ more, too. Our youth events this year particularly were the greatest. Well, actually, they've been great every year. :)
Junior year, yeah. that's a toughie. I ended my sophomore dating a great guy, had great friends, and we hung out and did stuff all the time. We were a tight knit group. I was taking really hard classes, learning who I was, trying to walk with Christ, and have a boyfriend. We broke up through some tough stuff in December, and things changed. I lost a friend, my best friend, and It felt like everything I did was different. I don't regret anything. I needed that. It was definitely a huge wake-up call for me. I became really active in my Youth group, and loving every second of it. I made new friends (which, suprizingly, isn't as easy as it seems for me. ) and felt like I had a mission, to get through High School being a servant to others. Even if they didn't know about it. Just praying for anyone, walking through the halls and praying for the next person I saw, even if I didn't know their name. Just lifting them up to God, not knowing their situation. Through the whole break-up process, I felt like I was meant to be where I am. Loving my friends, loving anybody, relentlessly, and not being judgmental. I'm still dealing with things that happened because of these things, but I actually enjoy it. I love being able to tell my story, even though I think it's stupid, and how much I've changed because of what happened in a week's time.
Summer. One of the best summers in my high school career. I went straight from school to Girl's state, which was incredible. I made so many new friends there. :) I got a job, which I love, I'm a leader in my youth group, I have amazing friends, I went to concerts, I talked to people who I would have never talked to if I hadn't been where I was at that time. I made new friends, hung out with some amazing people, and went to Chrysalis. Chrysalis definitely made my summer. I grew so much through this retreat, and learned about God, and how much he really does love me.
Senior year. Not much has happened yet...just school, and BAND. I love band this year. :) I'm a prayer group leader for 5 AMAZING girls, who I already love. I love every minute of this year. :) this will be the best year, and also the hardest year.
