Beginnings are scary, endings are usually sad; it's what you do in between that count the most
* Ralph Waldo Emerson
High school has been the most important experience that I have ever faced in my entire life. I have learned who I truly am and who I have become. I have also learned who my true friends are, and what major components that made a huge impact on my life. Throughout my high school experience, I have faced many stressful moments and peaceful moments, but in the end I look back with no regrets.
I am sixteen years old and currently attending my grade 11 year at Mississauga Secondary School. Every year feels like a new beginning. That was the joy about high school. You make a whole new load of friends, lose the old and regret the forgotten. I remember the first time I stepped into MSS. I was nervous but excited.

I wanted to become friends with everyone. All that mattered at that point was not to overlook anyone. My first year of high school was the most remarkable year because that was the year when I got to know everyone. But it was not a matter of time when I started to separate the real from the fake. I met Emily in grade 8, ever since; we have become the best of friends. We have had our ups and downs but we fought through it together. She helped me when I was at my lowest and when I was in the need of a mentor. A friend like Emily is difficult to find. Where ever there were girls, there was drama. In high school, “bitch” was the famous “Hi, how are you”. People were selfish, rude and unappreciative. The first year of high school is always the worst but in the end the laughter and stories are the best.
Throughout my entire high school experience, the biggest expectation was my grades. It was short and sweet, if you fail to plan, you will
