My wonderful classmates of 2013, I know that some of you may not want to read this because it is about graduation and you will get sad and you do not want to think about it because you want to be happy. But hey, there is nothing to be sad about you are just starting your life it is a happy thing. Throughout my high school years I have realized that I have not been myself because of a little fear of what others will think of me.
Just this past weekend I went to a stucco convention and I was truly inspired to be who I am and not care what other people think because I can only live this part of my life once. It is not easy to just in a blink of an eye be who you are, it does take a little time with a few steps. So here is a little advice if you were or are like me because e only have three and a half months left here and I know that we do not want to care what others think of us.
Our lives are about to begin and we are about to leave high school. Some of us are sad to leave our parents, our friends, to be independent people and pay bills and some of us are ready to go out and be on our own to start our life. The past three years and the past few months that we have been in high school we have had great memories and made wonderful friends but maybe we have held ourselves back as little. My advice to you is stop holding yourself back we have a short amount of time here in high school and we do not want any regrets. The people we are around right now you may not ever see them again so what is the stress about caring what they think.
The rest of the time we are here in this great school, let us make them memorable because we will later look back and think about these data. Do not be that person in the back who is quiet, be crazy, be loud, get involved in whatever you can, who cares what people think. Get embarrassed, the feeling is only temporary and the memories we make last a lifetime. I know that it it not easy as I may make it sound but like I said earlier it will take awhile and it will happen by little steps until you are there.
So remember work your way to being yourself, be loud, get involved, and make everlasting memories because on May 24th, when we walk across that stage we will not live this part of our life again. But we will take the memories with us, so do not be sad that high school is over, be happy that we are about to start our journey to success and start a nevermind chapter of our lives. Be ready to sturggle but most importantly be ready to succeed. I love class of 2013!

Live life to the fullest

I love this post Corazon! I was scared to read it because I don't always like thinking about graduating and leaving all of my friends, but you have a great point. I think we do miss a lot of great opportunities because we are afraid of what people will say about us, or what people will think of us. It's hard to put that fear behind us and do what we want, regardless of others. At the same time, we should realize that we need to give people the same acceptance that we are desperately searching for. When people are different, we should accept that, because they are just being themselves as well. You have a great point! It's definitely eye opening. Thank you for posting this!
ReplyDeleteCorazon I absolutely love what you wrote here! You are exactly right! Most of us should be happy that we can finally go off and start our lives and live them like we want to. Personally, I have not been here that long but I can tell that half of the people here are so much better than mostly everyone at my old school. I am truly thankful that I moved here and I am glad to say that I will be ending a great chapter in my life with this senior class.
ReplyDeleteI like that this is about not being afraid to be who you are. Step out of your comfort zone sort to say. I think my favorite quote actually matches very well with this blog. “Our deepest fear, is not that we are inadequate, it is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world; there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from ourselves, our presence automatically liberates others.”
ReplyDeleteI love how you said that we should get embarrassed! I, personally, am a professional at that as you already know. Quarter, you are such an amazing girl and I am glad to have gotten to know you over the years, you definitely have come out of your shell these past few years and it is obvious you are having a great time enjoying life. It is hard to just let ourselves loose and just be us, but your advice hits home. This is great advice and I hope that we all act on this advice and apply it into our lives instead of just reading it and thinking, "oh that would be a good idea." Thank you for this reminder!
ReplyDeleteQuarter I really like this post. You are true about living life to the fullest. In a way all of us should live life to the fullest regardless of how embarrassing it may seem or look. Recently I’ve been thinking about graduation I can say that I am scared to leave but at the same time I am excite to experience the stuff I have not already. That’s why now I am doing all I can to be nice and leave high school with no regrets. Again, I really like what you have to say. When May comes around it will be a new chapter in our lives that we will open up.
