Life After High School Reflection In the article, “Life After High School” by Annie Murphy Paul, it explains that when growing up things will change from high school though in the end actions in high school will determine how life will later be.

School Days are the Happiest Days of your Life? When I was given this assignment, my initial reaction was this is easy! Half an hours writing- homework complete. Fifteen minutes later I find that it is incredibly difficult to sort out the jumble of thoughts, memories and feelings, that are fighting each other in the race to be the first to blot this pristine white page.(melodramatic, but true) I suppose I could take the easy way out, and write that looking back; my school days were happy

"Why are you doing this? Why don’t you just stay the extra year? You know colleges don’t like high school students who haven’t been in high school for four years?” These are just a few of many questions that I get when I tell someone I’m graduating early.

children into a good college, at some point in my life everyone doubted if I would even finish high school. I finished ninth grade with a 1.2 GPA; I then transferred to Hamilton for tenth grade. When I arrived at Hami I realized I had a choice, I could continue my past behaviors and fail out again, or I could do my best to catch up on the classes I missed and try to change my life story.

For most of what I remember to be my middle school life, I tried my best not to become involved with any of the gossip and drama in the various networks of my class. Rarely did I ever engage in group conversations or even one-to-one conversations for that matter. In fact, any type and degree of social interaction seemed exhausting to me. Therefore, I usually stood away from the general population and kept to myself. On one special day, one of my classmates came up to me and asked me, “Celina, you're
