Eleven Things I Learned From Eleven Years of School.

1. You might not be the same person you were this time last year, but it is fine. People change, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. If you don't allow change to happen in your life, you will suffer the consequence of never growing as a human being.

2. Sometimes relationships with others don't work out because life happens. And that is perfectly okay. People grow, and people grow apart. 

3. Affection and love from another isn't everything you need in life right now. Don't be fooled, you probably don't even need it at all. Recognize the difference between love and lust. But you probably don't even know.

4. Be kind to your teachers. No matter how low your view of them, success will not be strived without their blessings.

5. Talk to the girl whom nobody likes. Believe that people are so much more than what meets the eye. The surface of the skin only tells you so little until you actually reach the bones. You'd be surprised.

6. It is difficult balancing a life of school and a life outside of it, but it is certainly not impossible. You are capable of things you aren't even aware of yet. If others can, why can't you? Reach for the stars but keep your feet on earth.

7. What happens to you, is probably the best for you. Nothing is coincidental. Everything happens for a reason and at some point you will grow to believe so.

8. You may come to a realization at a point in your life that your bestfriend, might not really be your best friend. 

9. A bump in the road does not effect a whole journey. How will you ever recognize sweetness if you've never tasted bitter. If you don't try to live, how will you ever experience and feel? Things will only start to happen when you step out of your comfort zone.

10. Bad experiences means life lessons. Carry them with you. Don't regret doing it, regret if you know it's absurd yet you do it again.

11. Grades are not an intellectual measurement of yourself but that is not an excuse to throw your life away and think it's fine. Lazy people make excuses, to avoid the feel of guilt.

Nevertheless, thank you for eleven great years.
