Wow, that was a great trip down memory lane. Looking back at all I’ve done, I am truly happy I have been going through with my goal: to make new memories and try something new each month. It’s been a blast, the past couple of months and I can’t wait to make even more memories this summer.

I’d like to thank everyone who has come and/or go this year because everyone has impacted my life one way or another. Thank you to those who have helped me through this stressful year.

Good-bye Junior Year. It’s been great.

Hello summer & hello senior year, I’m ready for you.

 

Proud

For the past few years, my life has been consisted of strict rules, same-old routines, and a sad me. I was starting to think my life was pointless if I was born to follow the same exact path as everyone else: go school, go to work, have a family, and sooner or later, die. I don’t like living a dull life. I’m not saying my entire life, so far, is boring. . .just the majority of it. So when 2016 started, I wanted to break the rules, change up my routines, and make myself happier.

Throughout my entire life, I have been following all the rules set by my parents. I’ve broken rules before, but in January 2015, I did something that changed everything. It wasn’t anything serious, but it’s just too personal to share. Since the day I got in trouble for what I did, I started to distance myself from my family because I felt like a disappointment. I don’t regret what I did because it was a lesson and I actually had fun. But this pride died down when I realized home didn’t really feel like home anymore. I went back to following the rules and my life got boring again.

By October 2015, I started to spend time with people who helped me heal. I started lying to go out again. I understand that lying is bad, but I needed a change in my life before I went crazy because sitting in the same room for hours, is not living. My friends took me out to places I’ve never been, showed me things I’ve never seen, and helped me with things my family couldn’t help me with.

thank you Pauline.

thank you t.t, r.l, b.h, j,n.

When I am in one place for too long and am there every day, I get tired of it. When I do the same thing every day, over and over again, it feels like I’m replaying the most boring movie ever. So I tried to fit in something fun after a long week of school. Ever since 2016 started, I changed up my schedule. I tried to go out every other weekend. I had one goal in mind: to do as much in one month as I could. This was one of the most difficult goals I set for myself because it’s always been hard to convince my parents to let me go out, but I managed. This was also one of the most fun challenges I’ve taken on because when I do go out, I make the best memories with the best people.

thank you Senate&ASB.

thank you girls.

thank you boys.

thank you best friend.

Ever since 2016 started, I set goals for myself and I have been accomplishing so much. So I’m glad to say that I am very proud of myself. I may be sorry for lying to my family, but this is my life, and I need to start living it; if not now, then when?

Since 2016 started, I’ve been focusing on myself and truly living. It’s only May and I have done so much, so I am looking forward to all the amazing memories to come.
