Day 18: High school

My high school experience wasn't exactly the "best time of my life," and brought me many struggles. However, I had many wonderful friends in school, I was involved in many activities, and I took challenging classes that I learned a lot from. Through these experiences, I gained so much knowledge! Without this, I certainly wouldn't be where I am today. I would not be in college, at least not the exceptional college I am at now, I would not enjoy music or singing as much as I do, and I definitely wouldn't have many of the life skills I need to survive in the "real world."

Going to a large high school prepared me well for my relations with people as well. I had many friends, and for the most part got along well with everyone. However, there were just a few instances where I didn't get along with someone and we didn't see eye-to-eye. Because of this, I learned how to better handle disagreement and resolve conflict, a valuable skill!

My high school is known for providing excellent education to students, and I am so thankful for that! Now that I am in college, I am beyond prepared for my course load. I strongly believe that my high school education is what prepared me so well. Without this, I never would have been this successful in college, and for that, I am so thankful to JHS!
