My Freshman Year

Beginning high school I had no idea what to expect. I was an insecure middle schooler full of questions and uncertainties to being flung into adulthood. I saw upperclassmen all around me living lives of independence and was awe struck. I thought, "being that old and having so many responsibilities is so far away." Still I made all the steps I could to better that future. My summer started with both band camp and football practices throughout the month of August. This proved to be an overload of work and way to much of a time commitment. I found myself to be exhausted and decided that it would be way too much to do. In the fall as well I tried out FFA, as I went to a leadership conference. I enjoyed it but decided there was too much on my plate already. Winter was filled with basketball pep games, baseball camp every Wednesday and Saturday and brass choir. Spring was baseball that extended into summer with the freshman and legion teams.
High school was all that I'd thought it'd be, busy and full of opportunities. I think the largest thing that I learned my freshman year was to try out all you can and get a taste of everything but to know where your limits are so you can balance your schedule.
