High school is almost finished. there is only four months left and honestly, I don’t know what I am going to do without it. The past one and a half years I spent more time with these people than with my own family, and it is crazy to think that before the program I didn’t even know a lot of them. Girls that are my best friends now weren’t even in my life before last year.
I grew so much since I entered thorough the magic doors, for the first time and not only because of the classes. I painted (something I thought I would never do), I talked for more then ten minutes in front of a lot of people (it was one of the worst moments of my life but at least I am not afraid anymore), I planned a trip and English classes for children, things that if nobody forced me I would never do but I can see how this made me better. But it is much more than that, it makes me feel a part of something, since all my classmates and I are in the same situation, where we have to administrate our time, since we don’t have a lot and deal with the fact that maybe we will have to give something up so we can keep up with school.
Next year I will have to stay almost the same amount of time as this year but instead of spending it learning subjects such as Arts, Entrepreneurship, Leadership and Tourism I will have to have classes of Physics, Math, and Portuguese.
High school is a huge part of my life and a cannot believe that I have less then six months of it left. I am already suffering from anticipation, I don’t want to say goodbye to the cool classes, the teachers, the maple syrup and the classes.
