Lesson Learned

The school year 2008-2009 has been the greatest year ever. Of course there were up's and downs but there's nothing stoping me from admiting that this yeas has been the best school year of my life. This year I got to experience things but best of all i learned alot. I learned about new things in my classes, about my friends, and best of all about myself.
A a senior at east millbrook, i made it my goal to leatn as much as possible and enjoy it. I truly beleive I reached my goal. Over the school year, i beleive my favorite class was social studies because we talked about WWII. I love learning about WWII because we talk about the Holocaust and how the U.S. got involved. I never really knew much about it except that Hitler was trying to get rid of all the Jews, and this year I learned U.S. got involved and how germany was stopped. it's tragic but yet again an interesting event in history.
I also learned that friends come and go but the truthful ones are the ones that stay. This year I've been through so many friends i mean what middle schooler doesnt. I started out with so many friends but im ending the year with only about 5 i would call my best friend. I've learned not to be scared of anyone and if you feel you have something to sayabout anyone tell it to their face. Going behind people's back and telling others create's drama and it's real bad. I have personal experience and it doesnt feel good. I've learned that if you have issues with someone talk it out ro resolve your issues. If they take it wrong, then you'll know they're not you real friends.
The most important thing I've learned is about myself. I've learned that im really smart if i put my mind to something, i can get it done. I remember i took a tough test in science but i trusted myself and my insticts and i passed that test with a perfect score. i always knew I was smart but this year prooved me right. i really feel like i've grown up and learned alot. i learned that I am beutiful in every way and I shouldn't let people take me down.
I plan on taking everything I've learned to high school. Th things about my friends, classes, and myself. I'm truly going to miss this school and everyone I've grown to love and care for. I beleive the last day of school I'll cry my eyes dry. This year was the best and I'm sad it's going to end.
