Easing the Back-to-School Jitters

Memories of the beginning of a new school year flood my mind each August as I see school supplies on display in stores and try to remember when each different school district begins. There is an excitement and a nervousness in my soul about the new year even though I graduated a long time ago. A new box of 64-count crayons in elementary school, brand new shoes, and even two-a-day football practices all hold special places in my memory, reminding me of the excitement and anxiety that came with a new school year.

Hooks High School 2024 Senior Perspective

In the words of Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda, yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift, which is why it is called the present. HooIn my long four year's of high school, I learned to appreciate the day I was given and take control of my destiny. However, I didn't always know how to be disciplined, and it was because of the past that I learned how to. It all started my freshman year, the year of the pandemic, and like many others, my mentality got completely switched. I became more sluggish and lazy, with a complete lack of drive.

Arkansas High School 2024 Senior Perspective

Reflecting on my past four years at Arkansas High School, I realize how much the students and faculty have shaped my life. Attending a big 5A rivalry school like ours was always exciting, especially with the town's anticipation for the Arkansas vs. Texas games. But when I started high school, COVID-19 was still affecting everything, and things hadn’t returned to normal. On the first day of freshman year, I woke up not knowing what to expect.

Maud High School 2024 Senior Perspective

I am not a die-hard country music fan, but I do not mind it. In 2007, Carrie Underwood wrote a song called "So Small." In this song, it talks about how sometimes something that feels huge is actually so small in the grand scheme of things. High school is just that. Not only did I come from a small 2A school, but the four years I spent there flew by, and now, looking back, it is a small chapter in the vast life in front of me. I was involved in many extracurricular activities while taking dual credit courses.
