1-27
It's the last day of the first semester you'll ever have at CHS. You are down to less than one semester of school left. What are your thoughts on that? I realize that most of you are ready to get out of here, but consider this: for many of you, you will not see your classmates ever again once you graduate. How do you feel about that? What are your thoughts on being responsible for yourself?

WAHOO!! YIPPEY-SKIPPEY!!! HALLELUIAH! WHOOP-WHOOP!! I know that the people that truly care about and I care about them, will stay in touch. As for the responsibility part, I'm not too worried, I already am responsible. I'm ready for a new chapter in life! P.S. I don't think I'll cry on graduation!
ReplyDeleteI am really excited to get out of high school! I know that the rest of the year is going to fly by because I will be really busy. I am not too sad about leaving my friends because I know that I am good at staying in contact (with friends from Duluth). I am a little nervous about being responsible for myself but I know that I will do fine. I am really looking forward to the rest of my life!
ReplyDeleteI am soo excited to graduate!! I cannot wait! I am not worried about losing my friends because I know I will keep in touch with all the people I am close with now because that is who we are. I am very excited to get away from those who are getting annoying also! I am excited to get out of my house and be on my own for a little bit. I want to meet new people and for the responsibility part, I already am responsible and have many responsibilities right now so it will not be anything for me to worry about. I think I'll probably cry at graduation at some point because I know my mom will be crying and seeing other people cry usually makes me cry. I will be happy as can be though!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am really excited to graduate. I know this may sound mean but most people I could care less if I see again. My true friends will stay in touch. I am not worried about leaving CHS or my classmates. I am pretty responsible already but it will be hard to be out on my own.
ReplyDeleteI have mixed feelings about leaving for college. I am extremely sad that I am leaving the classmates that I have grown up with for 13 years of my life. Though I may say I could care less about them but I know in my heart that they will always have a special place. Why? Because they have watched me grow up and we have all learned and made mistakes together. My college prep class and all of the senior class is like a family to me. I am extremely excited to be in college with only my rules and only me figuring out how to live on my own. Yet it is super scary to think that I cannot rewind back time and be a high schooler ever again. I cannot wait to meet new friends at college and keep in touch with my closest friends at Colfax when I come visit on my time off. I really do not want to see my Mom cry her eyes out when she leaves me at Winona. I am her last child. It just proves how quickly time does fly. I will enjoy every day till the end of my days. Why? Because in a blink of an eye I seem to be some where else all the time and another day goes that I can never relive except in memories and I am another day older. How time does fly, but I am ready for a fresh start for Kyler Steffe. <3

Yeah, I'm pretty excited to leave. I can't stress that point enough. As far as the responsibility aspects go, I'm over it. People have been running this cycle for years, and plenty have come out of it well. I don't really think it's that big of a deal. I'm not going to sit here and over-analyze it for eight months before it happens. When the time comes, I'll just do it, and it'll be fine.
I am sooooooooo ready to get out!! but as Trace Adkins says
ReplyDelete"You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days
hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this"
I am excited to be done with high school and be out into the real world. I am going to miss all the fun times I've had with everyone but we all have to go out and figure out what works for us. I have so many great memories with everyone since we were little that will always be with me. It is going to be hard to keep in touch but the ones who are close to me and have been for years not just now, I will always stay in touch with. The real world is exciting to think about and I am ready to be out on my own doing what I want to do.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of bittersweet. I will not miss all the high school drama and stupid stuff that goes on, but there will be people, groups, and activities that I am really going to miss. I can still come to cames and stuff though because I am living at home.
ReplyDeleteI can't even express how excited I am to get out of here. Yes I will miss people, but I will stay in touch with those few. I do not really care if I never see some again, that's what I am most looking forward to. I can't wait as harsh as that may sound. I already am on my own for the most part. I already have the responsibility of paying some bills and I'm even more anxious to be completely on my own.
ReplyDeleteWell, I am on my own already. So I kind of have a feeling of that. But, it may not be my last first semester at this rate. I am trying really hard to catch up. I've had a lot going on, and I am SO stressed out. And it doesnt help I kind of feel depressed today. I was going to write a persuasive essay, but honestly one essay isnt going to help me pass. I am really sad that I am leaving some of the people. some of them, well good luck at life, but there are some that I am really going to miss. This school year has gone by really fast. Its crazy. What am I going to do for that 8 hours a day for 5 days. Thats 40 hours of free time. It will be nice for a while, but as much as I DONT want to be here, I want to be here.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty excited. I feel like I have set myself up for a great future, and I can't wait to start building on that base. Today is also my last day of legal childhood, coincidentally. I think that the potential to go into the world and be my own person, to have my own successes, to have the experiences I want to have, to move and meet the people who will mean the most to me, is worth any carefree-ness that I will lose after graduation. There is so much potential in the world for those who are willing to work hard and who want to make a difference. High school was a good experience, and it has prepared me for the next step. I am glad to have had the time I've had here with my classmates, but part of the reason I consider that time successful is that I became confident enough to move onto the next phase in my life without fear and without much nostalgia.
ReplyDeleteWhat will I miss? Honestly? Nothing. After my 18 years of living in Colfax, nothing has seemed to really grab my heart. Everything that I love and care about have already left Colfax, or plan on leaving after this year. Of course there is a huge responsibility after high school when I move out on my own, but I think the transition will be fairly smooth for me. I am only going to be living in Minneapolis so if I absolutely need to come home on the weekends, I could. I will be renting a house that is about 10 minutes away from the Mall of America. So whenever I am not in class or doing homework, you know where you can find me. With all of these exciting new things that are to come, there is no way that I could ever long to be back in Colfax.
ReplyDeleteI do feel a little sad about leaving. The chances are pretty good that I will not see anyone from here again. However, I should be used to that already. There are not very many, if any, people that I will keep in touch with. I think that I have the school responsibility under control, but I am not naive enough to think that I do not need to worry about any other responsibility. I know that I will feel quite sad, but I will probably be kept busy enough that I will not have the time to feel bad.

It seems surreal yet for me. It doesn't seem like we will be out of here forever in a few months. I know I will miss high school and everyone here but it see,s only right to move on into the next stage of life. Colfax has been good to all of us I think. We'll have good memories, but it is time to move on. This is how I feel.
