Wow, what a year it has already been. Many past papers completed, maths formulas utilized, hours spent reading and watching hamlet and days upon days upon days charging on through the dreaded textiles major work. It sure is crazy to think that my whole 13 years of schooling is coming to an end and will end on November 7th this year. After all the many faked sick days, late night scrambles to finish assignments, after school tears and rants to mum, lunch orders, days when your watermelon or orange has leaked into your bag and large ladders which have formed in your stockings, it is all coming to an end.
These emotions and feelings are probably what are motivating me to work so hard, study so efficiently and diligently and turn up to school even when it is 15 degrees and my throat is sore and my nose is blocked. My main quote spinning through my head this whole year has been "Finish this year with no regrets", let me explain. I wish to finish this year knowing that I've given it my all, knowing that I have worked even when I haven't wanted to, knowing that I have finished exams writing every last bit of syllabus juice that is occupied in my brain. I wish to finish knowing that I have no more left to give. I wish to finish and prove to everybody that you can do "low scaling" subjects and still DO WELL. With hard work, determination and effort you can perform well and get where you wish to be. I wish to finish and beat peers that picked subjects that are "high scaling" even when they have no remote interest in them and sit back thinking that just by picking the subject they can achieve a great atar.
I hope I wake up on November 8th this year, being secure in the fact that I have given it my all and that whatever my end result is, I am still purposeful, full of worth and value.
