The school year is finally coming to a close. In nine school days, I will officially be a sophomore in high school. But who’s counting??? As much as I love school, I am very excited for summer!! For this final post of my freshman year, I want to reflect about what and who has made my freshman year a success!
For starters, I have made lots of new friends this year and I have gotten closer to my old friends, too. Emma, Lindsey, Brea, Julia, Sophie, Sarah, Martina, Micaela, Allie, Maddie, Sam, Nicole, Kara, and everyone else I grew close to this year, thanks so much for being a part of my life! Seriously, I don’t know how I would have made it through freshman year without you guys. I can’t wait to make more great memories together!
My crazy team! Nicole, if it weren't for you, I would never have moments like this! Photo Credit: Nicole Finch |
I know I already posted this, but again, without my wonderful friends, I never would have had so much fun studying! |
The end of a school year means saying goodbye to many things. Only nine more days left for me at Treasure Mountain. I also only have nine more days with some incredible teachers. I am excited to get to go to the High School next year (with its wide hallways, lack of backpack restrictions, and windows! Yes, windows!), but I am sad that this means leaving some of my wonderful teachers behind.
Goodbye homework, hello summer school! Because of my gymnastics schedule, I do not go to all four class periods in the school day. This means that I have to make up these classes somehow, and that means summer school for Jamie! I don’t really mind, though, because it keeps my brain stimulated the whole summer. Sophie, I can’t wait to be an artist with you!
One thing I will not be saying goodbye to is this blog. I really enjoy posting about myself, my gymnastics, and my life. I feel like it is a way for me to get closer to myself. I probably won’t be posting as frequently, but I will try to keep it up!
I also won’t be saying goodbye to gymnastics. I know I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again – you never get a break when you do gymnastics. Summer just means longer workouts that are more intense. The summer is a time to get new skills and to work towards the next level. I am excited to work hard and see where it takes me going into next season.
Summer means more time for team bonding, like team bowling day! I can't wait! |
Saying goodbye can be hard, but because of goodbyes, you get hellos. As the school year draws to a close, I am optimistic that next year will be just as entertaining, challenging, and teaching as this year was.
Just in case I am not able to post again, I want to thank everybody for reading my blog. I have really enjoyed this experience, and I have learned a lot about myself.
I hope you have a great summer!
