True Story:

Although majority of my life has been sitting in a classroom; I still have learned much more outside of the classroom. In school they teach you material that will help you graduate high school and college but life is way beyond that. I think I learned who I was outside of the class by the life experiences I have been through so far. Although learning who I was is a very broad learning experience it is something very essential. I still will learn more about myself as life goes on but the ones below are a few that I really am proud of in the last four years.

Starting my freshmen year I really became interested into the groups at my school such as student council and the Zanta Club. I really like the idea of making a difference in the school and to become a leader. Although I was new to the programs when I was a freshmen but became very involved throughout the four years I was in high school. By my senior year I was president of Student Council and a group leader of Z-Club. Those groups became more than just group they have taught me that I wanted to be a leader and help others in a positive way through my leadership skills. With the leadership skills I gained I realized that nursing would be a perfect career for me because I can use my leaderships every day in my job. Also with leadership comes independency and I was able trust myself in situations without the help of others.

Being a girl means having a lot of friends right? Well wrong, I probably have been ditched by so many girls people would think I am a bully or something. In high school I was left by my best friend, she was literally like a sister to me. She found a guy and left me in the dirt on the side of the road. Even though I lost a friend I gained a lesson and a piece of myself. I have learned that friends do not define me and friend will come in and out of my life but I will always be there for myself and so will my family. High school was a bumpy journey for me I have had the best of times and the worst of times but I would not trade the experience for anything. Life can suck sometimes and make you wonder, “why me?” But in the end you find yourself and that is what matter most. No teacher can teach you to be you, YOU have to! J
