I will really miss seeing my friends and teachers every day. My friends have supported me through so much, and I’ll miss all the memories we made together. My teachers have been more than just educators throughout this experience. They’ve been mentors who helped me grow, and I’ll miss their guidance and the support they’ve given me.
One piece of advice I’d give to underclassmen is to get involved and start your volunteer hours early. Joining clubs and helping out in the community helped me meet new people, learn new skills, and made high school more fun. Volunteering also looks great on college applications and teaches responsibility.
I hope to be remembered as someone who was hardworking and involved. I took every opportunity to contribute through clubs, volunteering, and helping others. It mattered to me because being active taught me responsibility and teamwork. These skills I’ll carry with me into college and my in future career.
Next year, I’m hoping to start my bachelor’s degree in International Business at Loyola University Chicago. I’m really excited for this new chapter and the opportunities it will bring. I look forward to meeting new people, experiencing different cultures, and getting involved on campus. I also hope to adjust well to college life and grow personally.
