It’s hard to believe that this is the last blog post I will
ever do. Everything is flying by so fast and it’s hard to take in. Everyone I’m
sure knows that I’m ready to get out of high school, but does that mean I won’t
miss it or I won’t be sad? No it doesn’t. So many memories I will be leaving
behind and the people that I love such as my friends, family, and yes even
teachers. However, I am ready to start my life into the real world.
To
begin, out of all the advice in the world I could give to your next year
students this one doesn’t have to do with just your class. Students, think
about what you do before you do it. I’m serious; really take time before you
make a decision. It doesn’t matter how long it takes you just make sure your
making the right decision. Think about the consequences, think about the people
the decision will affect, and think about how they will affect you in the long
run. I have done so many stupid things and made decisions that I will regret
for the rest of my entire life and there is nothing I can do about it because I
didn’t think about the consequences I just did it. Because of those stupid
decisions that I made they have affected what use to be my closest friends, my
family and whoever was around me when I made some of those decisions. So please
listen to me and think about what you’re doing before you do it and I promise
you it will make life ten times better and easier. My next advice to give is do
not be shy about your writing. Students this is a CREATIVE writing class, use
your imagination and everything you can express out loud and put it on paper.
See, I’m not a very smart kid but when I’m in that class I use my ability to
talk a lot and my imagination and out it on paper. I ended up winning most
creative writer! But, I wasn’t even there to receive my award. You know why? I didn’t
believe in myself. I thought I wouldn’t win any awards so I just didn’t go to
the award ceremony. This brings me to my next advice. Believe in yourself; know
that whatever you want to do, whatever you dream of doing, you can achieve it.
There is no such thing as a dream that is impossible to have. It takes
motivation, time, passion, hard work, sweat, and even tears. However, it’s
worth doing all that to end up being what you want to be and doing what you
want to do. So students, please take the advice I have given to you and use it
because I promise you it will be worth it.
Next,
it’s time to pick my favorite blog post. This is very hard to do because there
are so many we have done this year and having to choose just one to write about
is almost impossible. My favorite blog post was entitle “Riff on Opening Lines”.
I had so much fun creating this blog because I was able to write a story. I was
able to use my imagination to create a story that impressed me when I read it.
It makes me wonder what I could do if I wrote like a novel or something. I just
enjoyed being able to make up stuff, put it into paragraph form, and getting a
good grade on it. I loved watching people read my story because I could tell
that they were really getting into it. So that is my favorite blog post.
Last
but not least, the most valuable thing that I have learned in this class this
year is hard work pays off. I used to always half ass homework and assignments
and made terrible grades, but then I realized when I completely did a whole
blog or assignment that is raised my grade a decent amount. So if I would’ve worked
hard and done all my stuff completely I would be graduating with all A’s. At
least I know next time and have learned from my mistakes.
