Personal Narrative: My Experience Of High School

My life has been a series of obstacles. I see that as we get older we become wiser, but life never gets any easier. When we reach the end of an experience we take to heart the memories throughout the whole experience. People say "high school goes by quick" and " it's just a small part of your life." The experience of high school really shapes the way we deal with hardships and failure.

All the seniors are excited when graduation rolls around, just the feeling of not having to go through this again. We meet just before the ceremony enjoying one of our last moments together as friends. In two to three hours we would graduate alongside our fellow classmates, our friends and family, and reminisce about the good, and the bad. When we walk that stage we will feel a sense of accomplishment, and be handed out diploma and maybe even shed a tear. Just like that we say goodbye
Although I am still undecided of where I want to go, it is also something I don't really know how to do. Those are my problems for college application, but with a little help from my siblings who went through the process, I'm sure I'll get through it. I'm plenty sure it will be a hassle, and considering some colleges will make you write an essay, it will be plenty of work for me to do.

College will be something I sure am nervous about with what I want to study. I have had some teachers tell me I am beyond my years because most people my age are not thinking about philosophy. Studying philosophy is something people say is a waste of time or not profitable without even thinking of what the word philosophy means. Philosophy means love of knowledge or wisdom, meaning it is not meant to be profitable nor is it a waste of time, we just want to learn more, be it about ancient western philosophy or the way of the Tao Te Ching which was written by Laozi. Other than my studies it should be very intriguing how college will fold
