Junior Year
This is a self portrait after 5 hours of sleep and a full day, including a cross country run in ankle deep mud and a steady drizzle of rain and a couple thousand hours of homework tacked on for good measure. Just kidding. Sort of.
Welcome to my Junior year in high school. Traditionally known as the hardest year in school, I am miraculously finding ways to keep myself afloat. Based on many teachers feedback, I have become much more relaxed this year, which I find an incredible accomplishment. Somehow, when I am running on hardly any sleep and my homework is still lurking over my head, I fall into a knowledge coma. By this, I simply mean that I sit down and basically go numb. I work though my homework, but in the morning I marvel at how it is possible for me to pull off such amazing work so late. This is like my present to myself, a little surprise of beautiful work derived from my expressive personality. I have developed many new interests this year, such as a fascination with chemistry and a love for working out. Through the pressure of honors classes and the constant urge to be the best I possibly can, I am seeking peace. The word "college" makes me panic. Standardized tests make me want to hurl. And I love to color when I get too stressed out. Its like this: I thought I knew who I was last year, even a month ago I thought I knew. But every single day I learn that anything I thought I knew turns out to be wrong and everything I thought was impossible can become a reality.
