In highschool I have learned several lessons via my teachers, but I'm not sure how many I could honestly tell you I remember, and remember well. Maybe half? Definetely none of the science lessons, just some that may look familiar. Thank god I'm done with that subject, am I right? Anyway, the lessons I have learned are definetely personal ones, and they're some memorable ones. Along with that, I can't lie, I have learned a LOT about myself, good and basd. Honestly, I'm happy I have. I'm happy with the things I've been told, and the things I've learned and retained.
I can't even think of a lessons I've learned to start with... Most of the time it takes me being put into a situation to think about it and come to peace with what is happening at the time. I guess that one big lesson is to not take anything for granted, ever. It's super easy to do that though. As a junior with Seniors surrounding me nearing the end of the year, yet again, I've realized all of the normalities I've taken for granted. Easily, I haven't ever given a second thought about the people I associate with. Why woulod I? Yeah I'll talk to the older kids, that's awesome. But, what I never realize is that they won't be there as the years pass. They'll be at college, and out of my immediate reach. I hate to say that I don't appreciate the friendships I made enough, and that I wish I could show each one of them, and each one of my other friends, how much I've appreciated their company and friendship before it's too late, and they become a distant memory, or a face I only see every once and a while. I mean, obviously that statement touches everything in life. It pertains to health, living conditions, and everything inbetween. Until I'm reminded, I take those things for granted everyday, just because they're part of the norm. I wish I would remind myself of that more though, because I know it's very reality-based and brings you back down to earth. I honestly believe it makes you a better person remembering those types of things. And I'd have to say that all of the lessons I've especially taken to heart are one's that I think are self-bettering ones.
Personally, I know that I am a big bundle of paradox. And, I'm okay with that. I think people like that are actually pretty cool, it gives character. I've noticed that the things I say and do don't even make sense to me half of the time, and I want to hit myself for that. But I always somehow use that as some type learning experience, and fix that for the better in the future. At some periods, I've noticed I will be very quiet and observant, and others I'll be very enthusiastic, and that those emotions could go back and forth all day. That's something that I'd like to improve. Like I mentioned above, I forget. I forget a lot of things, and sometimes I forget to stay positive. It's hard to. It's hard to with surroundings that may not always be fun or exciting. It's hard to when you're dealing with stress, anxiety, and even depression. Being legitamitely happy, and positive is hard when you're focusing on several other things, and trying to put on a show. But experiencing all of that I've learned that as a person, I'm strong. Not really in a physical sense, though. I've learned that everyday I learn, and I grow, all to become a better person. I'm not quite there yet, but I can tell that I like what I've grown to be, and who I am, even if I don't remember that quite everyday.
