The time of my life when I was at my best, I would have to say was the last semester of my senior year. It was the time when I was working my hardest in all of my relationships, applying for scholarships, making my grades the best they could be, and working to make great strides in my physical therapy.


I knew I needed to make my grades the best they could be so I could graduate with honors. Physical therapy was a very important focus if I wanted to be able to dance for my senior solo in May. Since I knew these were the last times with most of the people I had grown up with, I knew I needed to make the best out of what we had left with one another. But most importantly, I knew I needed to work for all the scholarships possible so I could have the money to go to college.

The last semester of high school was most helpful to me in this transition to college because it was a time where I needed to develop the best work ethic to be out on my own. This was the time where I felt the most accomplished as well. I was getting straight A’s in all of my classes, including my advanced placement classes. I was making tremendous strides in physical therapy where I started to be able to have the capability to do things I hadn’t been able to do for months. I was having wonderful times with my friends making memories and getting along because we knew they were the times to be treasured. Then on top of everything, I was receiving scholarship money in order to help me finance college, which made me most ecstatic!

My life was turned around to where I felt the best I could be, and was having the best times I had ever had while in high school as well. I definitely walked out of my high school knowing I gave it the best I could before my time was up. And that was the most important thing, for me, to leave with.
