Tomorrow I will be graduating from high school. These four years have been the hardest years of my life. Freshman year I went to a school that I didn’t want to go to because I wasn’t going to know anyone. Freshman year was the year I lost several people in my life. They taught me that life it short and everyday is truly a gift from God. They taught me never to take anything for granted, smile and to take on every challenge head on. This was the year when I was so vulnerable, I was a pushover, I followed the crowd. Sophomore year was the year when I realize things aren’t what they seem. Not everyone was who you thought they were. I learned to speak for myself because if I didn’t who was going to do it for me? No one. Junior year was the year that I realize when push comes to shove not everyone will have your back. People are still immature. Friends will stab you in the back. You’re true friends come out. You go a little crazy. It was a hard year academically and emotionally. I lost my way with God. I lost a huge part of me. That I haven’t gotten back yet. I guess I really never had it in the first place. I cried more than I ever had. I lost relationships that used to mean so much to me. I was forgotten about. The biggest blessing in my life was born. <3 My baby Julian James Hernandez. I love him. I fell in love with the wrong person. Senior year. Feels like just yesterday it started. Now it’s over. I realized that the Class Of 2012 have molded me into me. Each one of the people that I’ve met each molded me into the person I am today. Even the people I’ve barely encountered. I fell out of love with the wrong person. I learned to play his game. I found that as cliche as it sounds it’s what is on the inside that matters. I am now me and I’m not anyone else.
The transformation from senior year to now has been an immense journey. One huge chapter I don’t want to forget because it’s brought me soo many memories.
Thank you teachers/staff/students at antelope high school.
I will miss you all. <3
