First Letter Response

During my first year of high school everyone would tell me that it would come and go before I knew it. I never really listened to that because I felt like it was such a long time away and that everyone says that about everything. I thought four years sounds like such a long time. But it honestly has gone by so fast I can’t believe it. Today my art teacher told me that we are more then half way finished with senior year. Which is unbelievable! (Coincidently) Today, I was in marine biology class and a student from Mr. Miller’s class asked if I could come with her to the yearbook room. She told me that I had been chosen as most talented high school artist. I laughed when she first told me because I honestly didn’t think she was being serious. I’m like two projects behind and I always feel as if I’m the worst in the class. I mean it felt great to be told I won it, and I guess that might be something I would be remembered for once I graduate. I don’t really know what else I would be remembered for. I don’t take part in any after school activities aside from a few clubs. I remember last year a couple months before my boyfriend and our best friend graduated they were telling me about how much they regret not taking up social opportunities when they were given to them. They would sometimes just casually decline going to a party because they were too tired or didn’t feel like it. They were telling me how much they regretted it because they were realizing that the time they had with these people was limited and time was going by pretty quick. From that conversation on I remember the two of them always attending any social event they were invited too. And by doing so they met tons of new people and really regretted not doing it sooner. I say this because I’ve been remembering that conversation recently and been thinking the same thing they were.
