The Future

This past year has been a dandy one. The defining idea of this year, or at least what I will remember in twenty years, was the acquisition of a car. Having a car means a sense of independence and freedom (and happiness) that I never had before. Being dependent on someone to take you everywhere restricts what you can and will do, and having a car lets you do what you want and go where you want. I guess my only regret involving this is not taking more advantage of this situation. In my opinion, life is about doing what you like or what will make you happy, and I maybe could have gotten out more and been more involved, but all around this was a good year. Academically, this year has been a hard one. There has not been extensive work but the material in most classes was much harder to understand than it has been in the past. Not too many people can do well in classes like AP Chem or AP US History without studying, and that includes me. My goal for senior year and beyond is just to have a better handle on my classes and not let one or two of my grades slip until the end of the semester. This next year is my last in high school, so I want it to be memorable.
