I Am Senior – 710 Words | Bartleby
Ever since I was a little kid, and growing up in the grade school, I saw the students a grade above me as the “big kids.” I would look up to them and try to be just like them. I can remember being in the fifth grade and wishing I was a sixth grader because they were older than me and they had, what felt like, more authority over everyone in the grade school.

At Last I’m a SeniorEver since I was a little kid, and growing up in the grade school, I saw the students a grade above me as the “big kids.” I would look up to them and try to be just like them. I can remember being in the fifth grade and wishing I was a sixth grader because they were older than me and they had, what felt like, more authority over everyone in the grade school. Last year, during my junior year in high school , I was still looking up to them. Of course, they were all some of my very good friends, but I still felt like they had more authority over me.

I do not think senior year has been turning out like I have always thought of it as going. I have always thought of my senior year being the easiest and most fun year of high school. Yes, I have had fun, but it has not been easy. I have been put through challenges already that I know will prepare me better for college.
It gets more real as the days go on that I am going to graduate in only a few more months. There is a part of me that is ready for graduation, and the other part of me never wants to leave high school. I have heard from my friends that are already in college that there is; a lot more free time, but harder work. I think that I will have a lot more fun in college because I will have the time to not only relax, but to actually have time to study compared to only getting to study at night during high school. A struggle that I have during high school is finding time to get some studying in. Yes, I do get home every day at 6:30, but it is hard to study when I am physically and mentally tired. I personally think that I will be able to learn more in college than in high school.
