Senior High school is a strange time. After four  years of trying to develop identity and friends in the high school, students are expected to mature immediately on the very first day of grade 12. Unfortunately, my "maturity"  did not arrive when expected. I never fully realized in the earlier grades how important senior high school success is. 

To go from being coddled, and having everything sugar coated, to the treachery of "real life"  certainly affected me, and my entire outlook on life. Granted, that I am only a sophomore and I have not yet felt the full affect of senior  high school, I still feel that change is always an option.

I've learned, and I'm learning still, both through observations and personal experiences, that there are many mishaps in life which seem to be explainable and unfair, but they are not devastating consequences! Now, I know it's trite, but I find it superlative to "not stress over the little things.  If we let the small thing bitter ourselves, how can!

Some might say that senior high school is like a living hell and I agree to some point because getting into college was like a breath of fresh air. But all in all, I have to say that senior high school was great and when you are through and done with it, you can look back and think that it wasn't as bad as you thought it would be.

Going to school is to gain a good education that will help you be successful in the future. This belief I do hold true both private and public schools grant this opportunity. But public schools and private schools each grant an entirely different social experience, and the social experience, in my opinion, is much more valuable than the academic experience.
