I actually have only been at OHS for my senior year. Previous to OHS I went to a school called, Olentangy Orange High School (OOHS). I learned in Ohio that not every single person will want to be your friend and that is okay. I had a couple teachers I didn't get along with and that was okay also. I feel like it messed up my education in a way though, because I didn't receive time that should have been offered to me. I also learned that friendships will come and go, and those who stick with you throughout high school, will definitely be with you in your future. My last year of high school at OHS, went very quick, but I’m glad I came to this school because I met very nice people. Everyone was really welcoming and I’m still thankful to this day for the friends I’ve made at OHS. A lesson that came out of my last year at OHS would have to be, ignore those who ignore you. I could careless now about making other people happy. I used to think everyone needed to like me, and unfortunately that’s not how things go. I was always seeking attention, and always wanting to be liked so much at my old school. I've learned now to just stay true to who you are as a person, and those who are willing to listen and stay in your life are friends for a lifetime.

Over the past four years of high school I have learned many things, from who are true friends, the kind of person I am and what I may or may not believe in. Coming into high school everyone I ever talked to said that high school was the best time of their life and how it goes by so fast. I didn't believe that until I took a moment and realized its already over. There has been one teacher all four years here at OHS I think I have learned the most from. Mrs. Casey-Smith has been not only an inspiration to the whole school but also my school mother. Any problem I had or anything I wanted to take about she was there. She has taught me the importance of hard work and perseverance. She taught me not only skills that will help me in college like sewing and pieces of the fashion industry. I learned how to connect with people and how actions can affect other people lives when one doesn't even recognize it. She always taught me to prioritize, especially with helping me through my Capstone adventure. I can not put into words how much she has been an inspiration and influence in my life. Some of the things she has accomplished in her life are goals on my own. The most important thing she has taught me is that I can do whatever I set my mind to. And if I want something bad enough I should not stop at anything to accomplish that.

Throughout my 4 years here at OHS, I have certainly learned several life lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. First and foremost, I have certainly been taught what truly matters and what factors will help carry me to success during the course of my life. It doesn't matter what you wear, how you style your hair, or what others perceive you as. As long as you put in hard work, strive to achieve your goals, and surround yourself with things that keep you positive, there is no need to worry about the things that will not matter after you graduate. Over the course of my 4 years here at OHS, I've also been shaped to believe that the harder you work the more it pays off. Whether it's academically, athletically, or socially, the more effort you put into your approaches, the more it creates a better outcome. The harder you study for a test, the higher your resulting grade is. The more you push and harder you practice everyday, the better you're going to do in a game or competition. The better friend you are to people, the more they are a friend to you. I've learned that if you care enough about what you're doing, things will work out for you in the end one way or another. In conclusion, after I have matured through 4 years here at OHS, I think I was able to become a better person with a more enlightened look on every day life and will definitely be carrying with me all that I have learned throughout high school.

Over the past four years of high school I have learned a great deal of lesson that will help me throughout life. Among the many that I have learned a few will stay with me for the rest of my life. The first of these lessons is understanding the simple fact that not everything is going to go your way. Learning this early on in high school definitely helped me out. The world sucks sometimes and the sooner you realize that the sooner you can move on with your life. The next lesson that I learned while in high school is that even though things may not always go your way that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to make them. You should always no matter what situation you're in give it everything you have and never settle for mediocre. Even if you think the essay you were assigned is pointless, even if you know that you're never going to use the information from a project for the rest of your life, even though it's much easier to just throw in the towel and just take a poor grade it's not worth it. That quality of determination and perseverance that you can acquire through high school is essential to progressing forward in life. What happens when your job requires you to do something stupid or something that you think has no meaning? The last and I feel the most important lesson I learned in high school is that it's not about what happens to you in life. It's about how you respond to those things that happen to you. You may get a bad grade on some test and it gives you two options. You can just say to hell with it and not study for the next test or you can push yourself to do better. With these life lessons I will hopefully be prepared for what life will throw at me next. Thank you OHS for the superb job of training me for life and all its mysteries.

Throughout my last four years at Oxford High School, I have learned many lessons I can take with me in the future. I realized how important it is to have a positive attitude when it comes to new experiences. When high school started, I was not aware of all the new people and teachers I would come in contact with and learn from. I have always known respect is an important factor when communicating with others, but also how being considerate of your classmates and teachers is of equal importance. Everyone has their own issues going on outside of the school setting people need to try to understand before making judgments. High school especially taught me how vital it is to have support from your friends and family in order to succeed. It would be difficult to excel if your loved ones did not have your back when it comes to certain decisions such as choosing a college or pursuing a sport in college. Overall, having an optimistic outlook on things is one of the most important lessons I have learned in high school as stated before. If you show up to school, practice, work, or any other situation with a bad attitude, the odds of having a negative experience are high. Instead, if you look at the situation the best you can, with the glass half full, you will be a happier individual. After all, “the grass is green where you water it.”

I have learned many things throughout my high school career. Some I will take with me as I move on, others not so much. The first lesson I learned was the Honors English was really AP English, except I saved $89 for the test. Also, Mr. Charles Rizzio taught me that even when there are two doors going into the lunch room, you can only take one. High School has helped me choose my career path. I learned I do not like English at all, and that math and the business field is where I will be headed. Time management is something I also learned throughout my years of high school. Playing three sports and balancing time for homework and school was something I will have to carry with me into college and the real world. Also, I realized what it takes to be successful, academic and sports wise. Hard work is required to achieve the highest goal, but however some things were easy to pass. You can not read a single book and not take notes and still receive good grades. High School has taught me who I am, and I am excited to start a new chapter of my life. #OHSP

The lessons learned throughout high school are ones that I will take with me for the rest of my life. There are many bad things I've learned and many good. Regardless, each has made me who I am today. The one I will remember most prominently is to try your best. If your try your best, you can only hope for the best outcome. Trying your best with determination and persistence will most likely have favorable outcomes. If not, you know for next time to try even harder and hope for a little luck. If you try and don't succeed, you know it just wasn't meant to be. Throughout my four years, I've tried my best on everything. Even when we're given AP exams in Honors English, I try my best. I know I probably won't get a 100 and I might complain, but I still strive for the highest grade. It always frustrated me that kids would slip by and get lucky with their grades when I knew they were doing bare minimum and not trying. But, I then realized that they will not last their entire life like this. I will continue to do everything I can to succeed and remember to tell myself... As long as you tried your best, that's all that matters. #OHSP

Throughout my four years at OHS, I have learned many lessons, both positive and negative. Many of these lessons will stick with me as I start the next chapter in my life. Throughout the duration of my time in high school, I have learned that hardwork and dedication towards assignments will pay off in one way or another. This pay off either stands as good grades or valuable information that will be useful to me through life. This information doesn't just stop at factual

One of the most important things I've learned throughout high school is that even though you work hard for something, it doesn't necessarily mean that you'll get what you want in the end. But, I've also learned that just because you don't get something you work hard for doesn't mean that you should stop fighting for things that you want. I've accepted that the world isn’t always fair. Sometimes things won’t work out the way you want them to, but I’ve learned to take advantage of those situations and turn them into more positive experiences. I’ve learned to be modest about my achievements and always be true to myself. Throughout high school a lot has happened and everyone has changed and learned so much about not only themselves, but about others also; By watching our fellow classmates, we’ve learned much of what we know. Although this world is filled with disappointments and tragedy, I’ve learned that it’s also full of miracles and beautiful experiences. I’ve learned to take nothing and nobody for granted because anything can be taken from you at any time. And in college I’ll take advantage of any opportunities that come my way, get more involved, and just be myself and stay true to my beliefs.

High school has taught me a lot about myself, others, and my strengths and weaknesses. One lesson I learned is that when it comes to academics, you should not rely on other people, especially when it comes to group projects. People will not always pull their weight; on more than one occasion, I've had to compensate for lack of work from others. Therefore, I think that working alone is sometimes better than working in a group. I also became aware of my limits. Starting my senior year, I had mostly academic classes that were a higher level. One class was Honors Pre-Calc, and since math is tough for me, I was wary. About a week into the class, I already became overwhelmed over the fact that I didn't know how to do the material we were learning, and because I already had a failing grade. I wanted to keep the class because it was a higher level and would be good for colleges to see, but I just couldn't. I decided that I would rather succeed in a normal class than struggle in a hard one, so I switched out. I have also learned that when you need help, there will always be someone there. Whether it be a teacher, classmate, guidance counselor, family member, or someone else, there will always be someone available to listen. When you really need to get something off your chest, having a person just listen to you really does help, as I've learned. Also, to get through my high school career, I have had to learn: how to sneak food into my fifth period study (because third lunch is the worst), to pace myself before going up the stairs, and how to cram for a test the period before. But I think the most important lesson I've learned in high school, especially as my senior year is coming to a close, is to simply enjoy it. I'm happy and comfortable at this point of my life, yet excited for what the future will bring. But I want to enjoy what I have right now as a high school senior, and for the next two weeks, that's what I plan on doing.

Oxford High School has taught me many educational lessons that will benefit me in the near future. Skills ranging from good study habits to writing a properly formatted essay will no doubt be useful in college. But OHS has instilled other lessons upon me that will last a lifetime. High school and the students and teachers in it have molded me into the person I am today. High school got rid of my awkward middle school shyness and gave me more confidence in social interactions. This will obviously be useful in the real world. But high school taught me even more important lessons such as taking on responsibility. Classes gave me opportunities to fail or succeed. The outcome of countless projects, assignments, and assessments was all on me. I learned that hard work will bring success which will stick with me for the rest of my life. High school taught me that slacking off and procrastination will only lead to unnecessary stress. Senior year ending and realizing that I will be departing from everyone I've known since my early childhood taught me to cherish what you have and your relationships with people. High school went by fast and I've taken away the lesson that not everything lasts forever. High school has been an educational and fun four years and I'm leaving it with skills and values that will last a lifetime.

Through the staff and the student body here at the high school, I have learned invaluable lessons. Other than the book knowledge gained within the walls of the fine learning establishment, I have been equipped with many other life skills. I have learned flexibility. Things do not always go exactly as you plan them, but you have to be able to adapt accordingly and push forward. I have also learned patience. Everything that that is supposed to happen is going to happen, and you can’t rush things. However, that does not mean that you should not to everything in your power to make sure that it ends in your favor, you should. That is the next thing I learned, that you need to work hard. Most importantly, I was able to figure out what I want to do in life. Though this may change at some point in life, I have been able to look into many different career paths and decide on what I want to do in life.

These past four years at OHS have gone by so fast. I learned many lessons along the way. I learned that happiness is not about the amount of friends that you have, but rather the ones who are always there for you. A few loyal friends is better than a bunch of fake ones. I learned that not everybody will be nice to you. Friends that you have had for years can backstab you. Rumors are spread. I learned to not let what other people think about me bother me. If they wanted to believe that rumor and not me then they’re not important to me. As long as I know the truth about myself then it doesn’t matter. Because OHS is a small school, everyone knows your business. I’ve learned to just accept that and embrace who I am. I am not going to please everyone. I am going to be judged by some people. But what it all comes down to is who is true to me. Those are the only people I need to make me happy. Another very important lesson that I learned at OHS is teamwork. I swam on the girls swim team all four years here at OHS. I had an amazing experience being on the swim team. I worked at getting faster everyday not just for myself but for my team as well. Our team made it to states all four years. I was there when we won our first meet in history just as a freshman. My junior year we came in 6th place at states out of about 30 teams. This was a huge accomplishment and we couldn’t have done it without each other. Senior year swimming was rough. My coach decided that he needed to move forward with his coaching career so that he can become a college coach. For 2 weeks my team didn’t have a coach. It was up to the seniors to run practices consisting of running and dry land. I would go home upset every day and I almost quit the team. I later realized that I would have made a huge mistake because I ended up having an awesome season and breaking my own records. I was scared to trust a different coach. I thought I needed my old coach. I gave my new coach a chance and realized that I could do it. This is probably one of the most important lessons that I learned at OHS. I will carry on to college with me all the important lessons that I learned.

In my four years at OHS I have not only learned educational lessons, but personal ones as well. I've furthered my speaking, writing, and critical thinking skills, which will help me as I continue my education. However, I've also learned more about who I am, and my surroundings. Looking back at my first few days of high school, I have learned the importance about trying new things. I am glad high school has taught me to keep an open mind through different activities. For example, I decided to try a new sport and join cross country. I'm glad I did because cross country taught me how to push myself and how to discipline myself. I had the best experiences on the team. In four years of high school you experience new things and meet new people that help you find yourself. The sooner you learn to be yourself, the better. I've learned that happiness comes from doing what you want to do rather than what others want you to do. In the end you are the one living your own life, therefore, you shouldn't live to please others. Within my past four years at OHS I have made many mistakes. I am glad I have because it has taught me how to stay positive when things go wrong. A good attitude can take you very far. What you want to be is what you will be if you. All it takes is faith and trust... oh yeah, and pixie dust!!!

I have learned many lessons throughout my four years at Oxford High School. Not only have I learned to not entirely trust others with a project to do their part and construction companies building a school so that it doesn't crack in a storm, but I have found a significant amount out about myself through the interaction of others. I have found an interest in cars. I have found a career path after not having the faintest idea of what I was interested in. I am enrolled in college. I plan to implement the work I have done in high school in my college studying after multiplying it by 10. There is no experience quite like high school. High school was less helpful in specific lessons I learned than setting the precedence of what not to do in college. College alike high school will be a new experience. The most significant of the lessons I learned in high school was to work hard...sort of. When I needed to put work into something, I put the effort in and that was a big part of my high school learning stretch. I didn't really work that hard beforehand and reflecting on it, I took a portion of information out that teachers tried to teach me.

Honestly, I've always thought school was a huge waste of my time, but as a senior looking back, I wouldn't trade my high school experience for anything. Transferring as sophomore was the most terrifying and best thing I have ever done. I wouldn't be myself today without OHS and for that I'll be eternally grateful.

Alike most of my classmates, I've learned who I was, to always try my best, and who my true friends were throughout my 4 years at OHS. However, I learned something during my 4 years of high school that I wish I knew all along. Since middle school I was also so concerned with how I looked at school and how others perceived me. If my hair, for example, was not up to my personal standards, I would have pretty bad anxiety all day and constantly be worried about what others thought of me. I would wake up at 4:45 am to get ready and make sure everything was under my definition of perfection. It also wasn't just in school, any public place I would have anxiety about what other people were thinking. I don't know if its just the fact that I'm a senior and my level of care is at an all time lo, but I've learned to give less of a crap (for lack of a better term) what people think. I'm less concerned about what people think about how I look anymore, I'm more concerned about more important things like my future and my relationships with friends. Although I still do my makeup and hair every single day, I now do it for myself rather than for the people around me who probably could care less. I've recently realized how confident and happier I've been feeling during my senior year of high school. Even though I realized this lesson at the end of my high school career, I'm glad I know have this new way of mind to take along with me as I start my new journey in college.

When I was young, everyone would tell me the years you spend in high school are the best years of your life. I never believed them. Now as I look back, they were pretty good and a lot better than I expected. The one problem is, now they’re all over. I realized how fast time truly flies by. The times when you were little, complaining you were bored, are now replaced with stress and not having enough time in one day. All of those free days spent doing nothing but playing outside and watching TV are gone. We now pray for an hour to relax and take a breath but we have too much to do whether it’s homework, sports, or something college related. This experience has taught me that life goes faster than you think. Things have to get done and you have places to be but it’s all part of your journey. One experience really stood out to me during my high school career that really taught me a lesson. As a freshman on the girl’s swim team, I didn’t really know what to expect. I had only ever been on one team before and have had the same coaches since I was six. Having a new coach and new teammates was a lot to take in. I landed up being friends with all of them and became part of their family. I had a few problems with the coach at first but I had managed to get through it. I had just been voted to be captain for my senior year, when our coach quit to coach a better team in our league. Questions were never answered and the girls were heartbroken and didn’t know what to do. We got a new coach two weeks into the season my senior year. It was my job to keep the girls together. The new coach was tough but I knew my teammates could get through it. Many quit at the beginning and even more throughout the season. We even lost our other captain. I talked to the girls that didn’t like the new coach but they still wanted nothing to do with her. I tried my best but my best wasn’t good enough. I felt like I let the team down by losing all of the girls. We were now half the size that we originally started with. We had only eleven girls but they were all 110% committed. Our team landed up having an amazing season. Personally, this was my best season of all four years. I got best times and even broke the oldest record on the record board. I learned to not stress about what is out of your control. Your best will not always be enough. I learned to give new people a chance and forget about the ones that betrayed you. I learned to focus on what’s important and to be the best you can be. These are the types of experiences that turn into lessons and change how you look at life.

Being a student at OHS these past 4 years I was able to learn lessons that will be helpful in the future. I have strengthened my skills in time management which will help me when I am in college next year. I have learned that not everyone will be your friend and they will just be fake to you. You just have to know who your real friends are and that is all that matters. OHS taught me to not have so much trust in others because they can't always be trusted to do what you asked of them. I learned that trying new things is actually really fun. High school has taught me to keep an open mind through different activities. I used to never want to work out or stay fit, but once I was introduced to Zumba I fell in love with is and now I plan to become certified making it a side career along with my actual career. You meet people in high school that can either make high school better or making it worse for you. It is up to you to make the most of how these people make an effect in your life. When I came to the high school as a freshman I had no idea who I was or who I would become in the future. Looking back, I have realized that I have grown immensely from that shy freshman into a confident senior. I know realize what I want to do in the future, I plan to double major in college in international studies and a foreign language. Being at OHS I was able to see my true potential and what I really wanted to do in the future and that is to help the world. No matter how much I complain or any of the students complain about OHS I know that we are all grateful for the opportunities given to us and lessons that the teachers passed down to us throughout the 4 years that we have been here.

There have been many lessons that I have learned during my highschool life. One of the most important lessons probably is to not procrastinate. Prior to highschool I have always waited to the last minute to complete an assignment but now I learned that it gets harder to do so now. I will carry over staying on top of my work to college. Another thing I will take along with my in my college journey is to enjoy every moment. Highschool flew by and I know I will not see many of my fellow classmates after we all graduate and the same with my friends. I learned to cherish the little time left with everyone now before it is time to leave. I plan on enjoying college for everything it is. It's going to be a new life and a whole new experience and i don't want to waste a second. I wish everyone the best of luck in college and hope to stay connected.

Over the last four years of high schools I learned that it is very easy to make it by with little to no effort required. I learned ways to get good grades with very little effort. For example, I learned that for in class essays, one can write about the same thing over and over and still get a good grade. You just need to find specifics from the text you are given. Now this mentality probably won’t be effective in the future, but then again I also don’t see myself searching for rhetorical devices very often after high school. I also learned how to judge character. I learned the personalities of my teachers and which of them I can mess with. I learned that some teachers, no matter what, can’t yell at you if you’re funny. For example, Mrs. Casey-Smith cannot yell at me, because she loves me too much. When every she starts to get upset with me, I crack a joke and everythings better. This has really helped me with my people skills and will help me when I get into the real world knowing how to treat different people. The last thing I learned was how important image is in society. You have to assert yourself and become top dog. Like the wise Shawn Corey Carted once said “Get 'em a red nose, they clown cakes They shoulda' never let you 'round cake Look at my neck, I got a carrot cake Now here's the icing on the cake, Cake, cake cake cake cake I'm just gettin' started, oh yeah we got it I've done made more millionaires than the lotto did Dame made millions, Bigg made millions Ye made millions, Just made millions Lyor made millions, Cam made millions Beans tell you if he wasn't in his feelings.” This will help me in the future because I will take control and become top dog. And that is how to be successful. And with these three lessons, I believe that can be Coogi down to the socks like I’m biggie poppa (BAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!)

Throughout my four years at Oxford High School I have learned countless lessons. Some were extremely helpful during high school and others will be more helpful later on in life. I learned to be more outgoing and friendly with complete strangers. The friends I have now are people that I may never have even talked to if I hadn't tried to be more social. Also during my time at OHS, I came across teachers who were not great teachers. They did not really teach us much but still tested us. This made me learn to teach myself which will be helpful in college when I am in lecturing classes of 50+ students. The most important lesson I learned, though, was how to broaden my horizons. I took so many different kinds of class with different kinds of teachers and different students. This taught me how to adjust to different friends, teaching styles, and subjects. Overall, Oxford High School has given me many different skills and taught me more lessons that I could have asked for that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. #StayGoldenOHS

OHS has taught me several lessons, some in which I will carry with me through the next chapter of my live. Oxford High School taught me that even if you work and earn something you still might not get it. This as devastating at the times of occurrence will always help me to always strive to be better and never expect anything because complacency and expectance will hurt more than anything. You always have to work but you can’t expect that anything can come from all your hard work you just have to know that the hard work, time, dedication, and effort spent to do whatever you wanted to do is worth it but you can’t expect anything from it. You have to want something not for an end result or prize but for the actual events that led up to the completion of the project. The journey and what you learned are the reward you can receive. As tough and pessimistic as that sounds I feel that this lesson will help me to do things not to get a prize at the end but to do it because it is worth something. For example doing a “project” expecting that it will be graded as a project and spending many hard hours working on it for it only count as a homework assignment, putting in the effort to get the assignment done and learning what every you had to to complete the assignment should be a great reward not just the grade at the end. This will help me further in life because as a person in a community you can’t always do things to expect something back, you should just do nice and helpful things and help. If you do get rewarded that’s great but you should also understand that you helped someone which should mean more. So in conclusion I would say that OHS has helped me to always expect the unexpected and to not always want a reward but to enjoy the work. On another not something else the high school taught me was to ask questions. When I was younger I always hated asking questions because I thought I would sound stupid but it’s better to get clarification then to not understand. I also learned that it is harder to grow apart from a friend then it is to simply have a fight and not become friends anymore.

I moved to Connecticut at the start of my high school career. That transition was very interesting to me purely because not only did I have to adjust to a new school, I had to adjust to a whole different culture and state. Some of the things that I have learned and will be taking with me came directly from that time and some came from the time that I have spent in the school since then. One of the first things that I learned was that not everyone is going to be there to spoon feed you along your path. There will be people around you that just want to see how you act under pressure and how you can handle stress. That lesson is something that will always be carried with me purely because as I go through life I will face many people that just want to mess with me and see how I handle myself. With that came the discovery that being respectful and kind can open many new doors. I know that kindness and respectfulness can only you so far but it can take you much farther than being mean to others ever could. I have had many opportunities open up to me that only showed themselves because I had been nice to people. Without that sort of mind set I would be a much different person than who I am today and I wouldn’t like to see that version of myself to be honest. One of the other things that I learned was that it is worth talking to as many people as possible. Coming into high school I had stuck myself in a single group of friends that never associated with others in middle school. But now that I have gone through high school I see that it is worth trying to talk to everyone just to have that connection. You don’t need to be the most popular person on the planet but you also don’t need to be someone that people don’t like purely because they don’t know you. High school has been a very interesting time for me. I have learned a lot about myself and others, those are the things that I am going to carry with me for the rest of my life.

Throughout these 4 great years at oxford high, I have learned so many fantastic things that I really don't see myself learning if I were to a different school. I believe one big this is to NOT call young teacher mam.. Through experience I think this is soemthing I learned that young teachers really don't enjoy it. Something about it being an "old person" name. Also one other thing I learned is there are select few teachers your allowed to call bro. Mrs. Elbakry is one of them. She got so salty cuz one time I did both in one class and she got real angry. So angry she didn't even fist pound me. So anyways I believe that another lesson I learned was me giving my all in everything I do. I believe that this will lead me through my life with great possibility to do good for the world.

I've learned a lot throughout high school. A lot I will take with me. I've learned how to handle responsibility and I've learned that I can handle situations I didn't think I could before. High school has taught me what is actually important. These past 4 years have been unforgettable as well as every year I've spent with all my Oxford classmates. Most of us have been together since kindergarten and we've been through a lot together. Good luck to everyone after high school and I hope to see some of you in the future!

Throughout my four years at Oxford High School I have learned many important life lessons. I have learned that when you are on top enjoy it, but don't let it get the best of you. Always continue to push yourself to get better and work harder because there is always somebody else who is looking to push you off that spot. I have also learned that even when things are at their worst keep going. At the end of my sophomore year I was contemplating quitting the football team. I didn't think that it was worth all of the time and effort I put into it. But as I pushed through the tough times and finished my senior season I knew that every second I spent on that team was worth it, and I learned that you should never waste an opportunity no matter what it is. Do as much as you can and you will always get something out of it. I will never forget all of the memories that i gained at OHS, whether good or bad.

Throughout the years of being at Oxford High School I have learned many things, both pertaining to school and life. There are a specific few that really made me a better person and I know i will use them in the future. When I walked into Oxford High School freshman year, I didn't know anyone since I just moved here. I didn't have the best attitude because I felt like the odd girl out. But after a few months, I realized how important it is to have an open and positive mind when it comes to facing new situations. If I continued to have a bad mindset, I wouldn't have the great relationships I do today with my friends and teachers. This lesson is going to help me when I go to college and start working. Having a positive attitude will get me far in life. I have also learned that life is not fair at all and sometimes you just have to deal with it. You will get the short end of the stick, whether it be at college or at work, but in order to make the situation better for yourself, you have to take responsibility. You have to work hard for what you want and not rely on others to do everything for you. One last important lesson that I learned is that people change. It's really hard to find friends who will stick by your side and always be there for you. You shouldn't be so open to trust people because they can turn their backs on you. I started off having a big group of friends but now I only really have three that I can count on for everything. I'm happy with those three people because I don't have to worry about them betraying me. I have learned to be careful of who I trust. These are the lessons that are really going to stick with me in the future and I'm glad I learned them while I was in high school.

I have learned many lessons throughout my four years of high school. I have learned not to stress out over little things. This will stick with me because in college instead of being stressed out 24/7 I know to just take things one at a time and everything will be fine. I have also learned not to take everything so seriously. This is a great lesson to take with me because it will help me enjoy life more. Life is no fun without a few laughs along the way. I have also learned to be a little outspoken and not care so much of what other people think of me. In my first few years of high school I always cared so much about how people saw me that I did things that made me unhappy just to be liked. When I realized that no one is going to care if you were ‘popular’ or not in high school I decided that to stop worrying so much about how others saw me. That was one of the biggest and most important step I’ve taken in high school. It helped me learn who was there for me and who wasn’t. High school has helped shape me into the person I am today and I plan on taken all the lessons I’ve learned in high school and using them in my everyday life as I grow up.

I have learned many things throughout high school that I will carry with me throughout the rest of my life. Most importantly I learned that people change. What no one thinks about is how their friends that they have now will change to be completely different than they were before. I honestly have to say that I don't have many close friends because they have changed so much. My closest friends turned into people who I almost don't recognize. Now I will always keep in mind that people aren't who they seem at first. You find out who your true friends are after years with them. So now I know to be conscious of people more because of that. Other little things I learned are to be more organized and not put off work as much. This way I will do better in school and get more out of it.

As I write this blog late, I feel like it's only appropriate to say that one thing I learned from this school is that senoritis is real. I have put in so much effort in all my classes. I have taken AP courses and now I feel tired. I need to graduate. I learned who I am, and. My limitations. I believe that this school has set me in the right direction. I am ready to go to college ND have my fun. I did enjoy the people I met in high school. I hope these connections will last. Anyway, highschool was fun for sure. However, I am ready for college. Bring on the fun I say. :)

I will be ending my four years at Oxford High School with one lesson in mind and that would be, the reputation you create for yourself will either be the reputation that works with you or against you.

I have learned a few things durning my miserable time here in prison. The warden has no respect for his inmates, therefor, it sucks. I also learned procrastinating does not get you anywhere (ironically, this blog is late). My final year here before I finally get let out has been nothing. Nothing to remeber, nothing to leave here missing. Some get institutionalized by these places, not me, I'm done; I'm out. At least the work program was good and I can go into the world with a few years of experience under my belt. Really the only thing I can take away is resentment. I don't even want to see this structure again. I just want to move on. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
