Assignment 24- Sarah

Junior year. The year everyone wishes you luck for. But in all honesty, I have loved this past year.

I’ve accomplished many of my goals this past year. In archery I received placement on the First All-City Team being the first-place girl in the district based on season averages. I experienced my first year being Drum Major in the marching band and received that title again for next year. I was just recently named the Dance Committee Chair for DanceBlue for 2018/2019. I was in the ensemble of the school musical, Singin in the Rain. I got into the National Honor Society and was elected Member at Large. I served as an EAP Mentor Leader.

I also have had some tougher times though. Late nights, sleep deprivation, and falling asleep in my classes have become “norms”. I tend to procrastinate, but I also am simply busy. It’s hard to remember the last time I slept in or had a free night, and even if I was free or had a moment to spare it is instantly consumed with homework or projects. During marching band as I was serving in my new leadership positions I had to deal with lots of pressure. There was a lot of pressure that I put on myself and our directors put on the band. Of course my goal was to be perfect all the time, which I soon found to be impossible.

This summer I will be in Morehead for 5 weeks to participate in GSP and then two days after I come back I will begin our 3-week band camp, which is 8am-9pm the first week and 8am-6pm the other two weeks.

If you can’t tell I like to always be moving and staying busy. Overall, junior year has been an amazing opportunity from becoming closer with Stone and Matthew in English to attempting to sing in the school musical (I can’t sing). I am terrified of becoming a senior, but hopefully it will turn out like this year. I’m so thankful for everyone who made this year so amazing!
