When people think about high school, they see all of the things they regret not doing. Some even think about the experiences they missed out on or the great times they did have while in high school. My time in high school wasn 't that bad. I played sports and had friends that I will have forever. I never got a state sweater in any of the sports I did do, but that wasn 't my goal in any of the sports. I played the sports I did because I enjoyed the sport and I got to spend time with my friends. My time in high school is something I will remember throughout my lifetime and will never forget. When in high school, lots of things can happen to one person. I personally had a lot of bad, but also good things happen during my four years of high school. Most of them were bad, but a famous quote from buddha has helped me realize what is important in my life. Buddha says “Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” ~ Buddha. This quote has helped me throughout my life so far and I will continue to live by this quote for the duration of my life time. If I was to change anything about my life, then I would change who I am and who I might become. If I could change something, it would to be a bigger man and stop those people who think bullying is okay. …show more content…

I know I can be somewhat mean sometimes, but it is just because of the world I was raised in. People of the twenty-first century are some mean people. I would love to be back in the 1800’s when men respected women and treated them like a human being, not like pieces of meat like we do now. The times have changed and people have to mean to survive. The nice guys just don 't make it in the world now. If I have to be a little mean to get to where I want to be in life, then so be it, I will get there. I will always treat women with the utmost respect they deserve

    ...hool and work and life in general. I did not strive to do my best in high school and especially my dual enrollment classes. I was not ever thinking about my future and started not coming to classes. Once I accepted God in my life Junior Summer, all that changed. I realized I was on a negative path and God helped me turn my life around. Senior year is going wonderful so far, my grades are the best they have ever been and I am busy as ever with work, school, church, and volunteer work. I love it this way, I believe staying busy requires me to stay on task and get a lot done, that is the lifestyle I have to take to college.

    High school was not a completely dreadful experience, but I did not get a really an exceptional education. As I entered high school, I thought it would be a whole new exciting chapter in my life. I started out as an involved student, and went through all of the Advance Placement and Honor classes, and managed to be at the top 12% of my class. In high school, I basically placed myself to enjoy it; I joined all of the extra curricular activities I was interested in. I was in band, tennis, swimming, dance team, and Key Club. Sometimes I was at school for about fourteen hours a day, four times a week.

    Growing up is not an easy thing to do. You have no idea what is going on with your body, your emotions change at the drop of a hat, and you sometimes wonder what the point of life is. However, what you do know is that Mercer is planning a party after the game Friday night and you need to be there. This is the way I seem to remember high school when I think about it for a brief second. However, when I sit down and actually give it some thought, I realize that there is so much more about those years I have forgotten about--all of the little things that happened to everyone everyday and those major events that seemed to change my life. Everything that went into making us All-American kids.

If I could shake that spaced out kid, with his head in the clouds and yell into his face, ‘Listen, it doesn’t have to be difficult! Things can be so much easier if you pay a little more attention.’ Looking back as I went through high school my priorities changed, from music and friends to wanting to join the military.
