It’s the day every student dreams of. It’s the day every teacher dreads. It’s also the day that signifies the start of a new beginning.

This Monday was my last day of school. However, in high school, the last day is not one to relax and enjoy, but one to finish reviewing the year’s work. We have final exams, which cover everything done throughout the year. These are taken in the last days of school and are mentally exhausting. But despite this, it also has its benefits. For example, during finals, the school is a free campus, which means that you can leave the school if you don’t have the exams so long as you get back before the start of your next one. This mental break gave us time to relax and recollect to prepare for the next exam.

Looking back on the year, it was a huge change from middle school, which took some time to get used to and understand. Overall, I think I did well in adjusting to the change, and I am very excited to be a sophomore in the fall…
