So Long Sophomore


As this year finally begins to conclude, I must say that it has, by far, been the most demanding of my entire life.  In fact, I feel as if many parts of my life have been temporarily suspended because of it.  I understand that this may sound a bit exaggerated and extreme; however, it has been my complete reality for the past ten months. 

This year has placed so much pressure on me.  I have been given far more homework than what is manageable; the amount assigned has been unreasonable and completely unnecessary.  Since the start of this school year, I have spent practically every single night isolated in my bedroom until the early hours of the morning in order to complete my assignments and properly carry out my responsibilities. 

Though the majority of my sophomore year has been full of anguish and stress, I would be lying if I said that there have been no highlights in this torturous epic.  Band, as always, has been extraordinary.  This is the one place that is capable of relieving me of all of my stress… all of my worries.  This place represents the single hour where I am able to completely let go of the outside world.  Without band, I would undoubtedly have given up a long time ago. 

What will be perhaps the greatest highlight of my sophomore year has not yet occurred… it is right around the corner.  In just fourteen days, I will be sixteen, and a few days after this, I will have my license.  I have been waiting so long for this moment to finally get here; with the occurrence of this event, I see myself finally being able to regain my life.  I see myself, my mustang, and endless roads of adventure just awaiting my arrival.

Now, for the words that I have dreamt of saying for quite some time now…

So Long Sophomore.
