"Man, it's going to take so long to be a senior? And
why are they so big?"
In a blink of an eye, I went from being a small middle
schooler to a senior. It still feels surreal, and most of us still need time to
let it sink in.
High school went by quickly, and COVID was a significant
factor. Despite COVID still lingering around, this school year seems normal
now. We finally have our sports, and it looks like we have no significant
restrictions, which was a big sigh of relief. Sports is a major part of high
school and having that aspect back is something we are all grateful for.
As someone who genuinely enjoys school, I have mixed
feelings about being a senior. On the one hand, it's a great feeling to finally
be at the top. On the other hand, we'll be leaving this school in a few months
and taking on new ventures in our lives, which can be daunting.
As Dalat is an international school, some of us will be
going back to our home countries. This means we will have very few opportunities
to meet up once we graduate high school. It is important to go on hangouts as
much as possible while everyone is still here.
Evan Kuan Yu Qi, a Dalat senior from California, said,
"I think it's like crazy how senior year came super fast. I can still remember
when I was like a freshman. I’ll definitely miss my friends when I move back to
the states. Four years flew by real quick, haha!"
It feels surreal that in a year from now, the class of 2023
will be graduating high school. Everyone will be moving on with their lives,
whether it’s going to college or starting work. All of us need to take in this
school year as a whole. Enjoy our last high school year's ups and downs and
make the most of this last year.
