Coming into my freshman year of high school, there was a lot that I didn't know. I wasn't sure what to expect from teachers, upperclassmen or even fellow classmates and friends that I've been with for years. I suppose that the biggest question mark above my head was what I COULD expect from high school. I had some ideas, but I lacked a firm, concrete expectation. Now, with the semester in full swing, I'm grabbing hold of more and more of the challenges that are thrown my way. Still, there is one thing that's still hanging over my head that I did not expect, which is the realization that everything in the perspective of my life is happening so fast. Sometimes I feel like orientation was just a few days ago when we're really almost to recieving progress grades. The speed of it all is so unreal.
