(I will attribute some of this to the time of year) Mike's words are so true-everything in life is what you make of it. If you think leaving high school is going to make your life better it won't-unless you change too, something you could have done all along. Some people see crap in everything and always complain-others see potential in everything and always try to make the best of everything life gives them. You choose to be one of these types-regardless of whether you're in high school or not. EVERY STAGE OF YOUR LIFE COMES WITH TROUBLES, DIFFICULTIES AND REASONS TO BE NEGATIVE- it's up to you how you deal with it. Good luck all, JoeCool I think it’s a shame that so many of you have such negative memories.

Something that was not neccessarily a great memeory becomes some amazing perfect time in ones life. I dont believe that high school is or isnt part of the best years of our lives because the best years of our lives all depend on how we live them and what our attitudes, decisions, and views are at those times. In other words the best years of our lives can be at any time we choose. For me personally, my high school years have been a great learning experience and not just at an academic level. I have met some great people and some not sogreat people and I know that true friends will be kept in contact with me so in a way Ive come to expect and accept the fact that I wont see everyone I knew but I know a select few will continue to be my friends. I'm excited and a little fightened about going into 'the real world' but I am ready for it to.

I LOVE 'The Call', it's so pretty. Epic movie music is the best, just look at LotR and Pirates. <3333 Prince Caspian is SOOOOOO beautiful. I loved this movie anyway, but he made it even better. I looked him up on imdb, and he's actually 27 years old! I thought he was much younger. Still, so great. Ahhhhh. <3333 I just saw this last night, and downloaded the entire album from iTunes when I got home. I LOVE ‘The Call’, it’s so pretty.

Unfortunately I haven't yet read the books, but Amy gave me the book that has the whole series in it, and when I have time (probably after school finishes *sigh*) I am for sure going to get reading!!! As for soundtracks... I love them and I probably will download some songs especially the one by Imogen Heap :) I loved the first chronicles of narnia, and your review just made me want to see the next one even more!

It was never that terrible for me. I mean... there have been people and classes that I could've done without and mistakes I and others have made that have changed my highschool life, but that is true to everyone. Overall my highschool years have been pretty decent. I can't wait to leave though. The last few weeks have been dragging on, and will continue to drag on, I completely agree. I feel like it will never end... but I know it will. I can't wait for the next part of life, it definitely feels like it's not coming fast enough. I never really had anything against highschool.

So far there is not a whole lot that I have really thought wow this is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I keep thinking that it can only get better from here. That there is something more that is out there. This is WO a small school with little diversity. A school in the middle of a field. There has to be something better out there. I want to travel and visit other countries to see how other live to be able to cherich more of the things in my life. I want to do once in a lifetime things like going in a hot air balloon or sky dive. I just keep thinking to myself that things have to better then what they have been in these last four years of my life. School really is about survival but I think it is also about experience just like life is. The award seems really cool but I think then we would have to give an award to each person because each of us have made it through some sort of rough patch in the four years we have been here and we have had to survive something. i just want to say that I really hope that the saying “high school is the best yearts of your life,” is really not true.

High school is awful. I've lost all hope of having friends and I can't even eat lunch anymore cuz I'm hiding in guidance, doing homework instead of being rejected. After last night I realized jow good my high school years could have been if I would have just been the friend I am to the right person instead of being a huge ass. Now I can't get it back and be where life could be ok. I want so badly to re do that 1 night of my life and be friends with the like most amazing group of ppl ever but I screwed that up. I kinda wish I wasn't comeing back 4 another year of this but it's what I've decided and I never go back on my decisions so... I hope it gets better. That award sounds good though. Someone realizing, especialy teachers, that you can't just shove us through and tell us to get our work done. Some people go through hell in high school and suck ppl deserve an award 4 making it through. Don't worry, this will be over soon. In just about a month it will all be over and your life will be yours. You will be great as will your life :) Enjoy it I love school but I can do without the people. High school is awful.

I dont really want to leave. For me it would probably mean going to school in Toronto and then making my way over to Vancouver, which would mean leaving everything here behind. I want to see the world, but I hate the idea of leaving my friends and family, escpecially my German Club. I grew up at the Transylvania Club and go there at least once a week, its a second home And a second family. My friends can visit but I cant take the Club with me. I'm excited to go out and in the world and start doing whatever I plan on doing, but I'm in no hurry.

I know sometimes I get all worked up like I need to get out... experience something bigger, start a life full of adventure, travel and learning. But, on the other hand...there's a lot I don't want to let go of... I know I won't awlays be close to all the friends I have now. I want to, I want to try, but I know that not all those relationships are going to be kept and mended throughout all time, but that doesn't mean I want to put a rush on it. Honestly, even though a huge part of me is pacing in anticipation to be freed, a large part is perfectly content to wait and bask in the life I have now.
