Now I am going to be an upperclassman

by Luren Mulkern

It seems like yesterday when I took my first steps in high school. I was a freshman transitioning in to a brand new building that was totally different from the middle school. I went from being in every club in the middle school to having no idea what clubs were offered at the high school.
It is hard to imagine that it was two years ago when I took my first steps in high school. I am basically now considered a junior but it has not hit me yet because it seems like it was yesterday when I was one of the underclassmen. Now I am going to be an upperclassman. I am the student who incoming freshman will be looking up to.
Now that the seniors are gone, the eighth graders are considered freshman, sophomores are juniors, juniors are seniors, and seniors are going into the real world. Some may choose college, or some may choose going straight in to a career. Whatever they choose, they are now in the real world.
I am now a junior and I have to start looking in to the certain colleges that interest me. I thought I had some time but in reality, senior year will come before I know it.
Two years of my high school career have gone by and I only have two more left. I now realize how little time I have left to enjoy high school before it is gone and I never get it back. I will soon be in the real world so I have to enjoy all high school has to offer.
