Thinking back to this same time last year is crazy. I was in such a different point in my life. I was finally no longer a freshman, I had friends that I thought I would be friends with for the rest of high school, I didn't drive, had no job, I hadn't earned the trust my parents have for me yet, I was more naive, but I wouldn't quite say I'm any smarter now. I guess last year I thought I was in this bubble, where everything was perfect, and it'd stay that way for the rest of my time in high school. Boy was I wrong, I'm in a different place in life. A total 360.

Who have I become?

That's still a question I've been asking myself daily. Is it better or worse than what I was before? Have I grown as a person? Have I made the right choices to get me where I am now? I still have another year left before college. I can't look back at my past year and remember any of the nights where I stayed home, I've made memories that I never want to forget. I think that has a big part in what has shaped me. New experiences, new mistakes, all in a year? Hard to absorb.

It's just hard to believe how so much has changed in one year. Everything was so different.
