What it means to be a SENIOR!

What does it mean to be a senior? To some people it means responsibility. To other people it means freedom. To me it means leadership. Being a senior comes more opportunities for you as an individual to step up and be a leader. You have so many younger kids that are looking up to you. You, being a senior, have to set a positive example. Even if we don't see it there are people looking up to us all the time. It’s not only the younger kids that we go to school with but teachers, parents and even our classmates.

A lot of students feel that being a senior means that we get to slack off. I don't agree with that at all. I believe that this is the year that we need to more seriously. This is the time when we have to get ready for college and figure out what we want to do with the rest of our lives. This is a huge decision for anyone to make. We want to show all of our friends, family, and teachers that put up with us all these years that their hard work has paid off and that we are ready to start a life on our own. If we act and prove to everyone that we can do it then the kids younger then we are will follow in our footsteps. We, being the seniors, are the leaders of the high school and need to act in such way. 

I can’t tell you what it means to be a senior. That’s all up to you. Some people may think that it is a year to slack off but others may think that it is a year full of responsibilities. Either way enjoy your last year. It is one that we will never forget.
