10th grade: Proud
June 14th, 2016 1:25AM
Yesterday marked my last final test in the 10th grade.
This year was an eventful year. I was really nervous about it because I’d be moving up to a higher level educational wise but I guess there was nothing to be afraid of. I did have difficulties in Physics at first but I got over them.
It was a year of discoveries and first experiences. I had a fight with someone I used to call my “best friend” for the first time. I got bullied for the first time. I managed to find out who my real friends are.
I lost many people this year. It was also the first time for me to have the courage to cut ties with people I used to consider friends. It was the first time for me to finally realize that it is not my fault that other people dislike me. It was the first time for me to have the nerve to cut all the papers that had memories and an important place in my heart in front of them. How our friendship started might be one thing but I will definitely not be on the bad end of this situation.
If it was up to me from one year ago, I would’ve been crying while holding those papers that had the best memories I’ve ever experienced. However I am a new person now and I believe that my self of the past would be proud of me.
But it wasn’t just a bad year. I managed to find true friends both in real life and online. I’ve had fun and did lots of crazy stuff. I succeeded in overcoming many hardships and I can say I am proud of myself.
I am proud of myself for standing up to myself.
I am proud of myself for not being afraid of pushing people away.
I am proud of myself for pushing myself to the limit and overcoming my limits.
The most important thing I learned from this year is to be confident of myself. Even if what I did was considered a small success, it is a success after all. I’ll try to live with more positivity and confidence next year.
