Staring my first day of my senior year is a day I will always remember. I didn’t know how to feel when I woke up to get dressed for school that morning. I was mad I had to wake up so early to go to school but at the same time I was excited to be starting my last first day.

I was very excited to finally be the top dogs of the school. All the under classman were finally going to be looking up to me like I did all those years prior. Feeling as your’re the most important in the school is a very special feeling. Realizing that you get picked for more things and picked first because your a senior and it’s your last year for everything is a sad and bittersweet moment.

Seniors had to be prepared for how different the teachers were going to treat them, more like young adults than ever. That’s what I was most excited for to finally be seen as young adults that were ready to move on and enter the real world in a year.

Coming back to school on the first day after summer break everyone was happy to be back to see all of their friends. We may have hung out over the summer a couple of times but we were back to seeing each other everyday for another 180 days. It was also nice to be back and see all the teachers from the long break off.

Now by the end of the year, I am excited to be graduating but also at the same time a little upset. If I could go back to the start of the school year to just relive the first day of school to feel the excited all over again I would. I will miss being at the top of the school and everyone looking up to me because next year I’m right back at the beginning, as a freshman looking up to upper classman again.
