“From freshman to senior year, I learned to be more open minded and outgoing. I am generally a controlling person and have an exact picture of what I want in my mind.  However, I never get that. Sometimes the real outcome is better than the expected outcome. The best part about being a senior is that I am almost out of high school. Most of all I will miss, although I never expected it, the relationships I have formed with people.  My friends care about me more than I thought. I didn’t realize how much I would miss them until now because perhaps I took them for granted. I will miss doing problems on the whiteboard in math with my friends. I will miss philosophical debates. I will also miss my teachers.”
