Here I sit in my teacher's aide class, at 11 a.m. thinking about one of the most bittersweet days yet. My last day of high school could quite possibly be tomorrow. (Insha'Allah it is)
About a week or two after my Senior year of high school started, I decided that I wanted to graduate high school a semester early. I'd get to participate in the football season senior activities, so that was good, and I wouldn't come to school for the second semester, except for senior activities at the end of the year, and that sounded even better! I mean, you wants to go to school for 5 extra months?! Not me! I spoke to my counselor and he told me my options and I just went with it. I've had to basically not have a life since senior year started, which is fine since I'd rather have a life and not be in school rather than be in school and have a life.
I've been working so hard towards this goal and I'm not finished yet. I still have a little while to go to finish a class but I'm determined and motivated to get the rest of it done this weekend insha'Allah.
That would mean I'd come to school the day after I finish and I'd graduate that morning. The excitement is real! Who wouldn't love that?! This is one of the best decisions I've ever made. It is kind of sad that I'm cutting my senior year short but I'm not into being in school for much longer. To be honest, I originally hated the new administration and the strictness of the district MY SENIOR YEAR. I guess seeing all the people around me and everything that happens here everyday is motivation to get out of it. Haha.
Although I will not miss the classes, and I won't miss very many people or teachers (very few of both) I will miss being in high school, eventually. For now, I'm just going to enjoy my last hours of high school, then I shall enjoy the MONTHS of freedom that I will gladly take. Insha'Allah.
There's so much for me to come and I'm so excited for the year to TRULY unravel. 2014, the new year, will truly start when I'm graduated. I have so many plans that I'm beyond excited for. Insha'Allah everything works out for everyone.
My excitement is through the roof! Wouldn't have been able to do any of this without Allah SWT. Alhamdulillah. ❤
