I guess I'll end the year by talking about who I was and how I've come to be the person I am today. Freshmen year I was just a soccer player who went to young life and got good grades. However, the next summer changed my life. The short version is that while at a Young Life camp in colorado I made the decision to follow Jesus. It is safe to say that my high school career would've been completely different had I not traveled to colorado that week in June.
I have been involved in YL and soccer since my freshmen year, and have taken part in many other activities as well. From joining the IB program to participating in TOPSoccer, everything I've done up to this point has contributed to who I am today both academically and otherwise. My experiences in the IB program have been overwhelmingly negative, but I have gained some intense time-management skills (that I seem to have forgotten) and learned how to function on 4 hours of sleep a night. I have learned many things from my endeavors outside of school as well, but to prevent this from sounding like a cheesy college essay I will not list out all of my extracurricular activities.
I do not regret anything I have done during my time at Millbrook. I have definitely made a bunch of mistakes, but I have learned from them and have grown because of them. I've made some amazing friends over the years, some quite recently, and I have learned that sometimes you just have to cut the toxic people out of your life. High School has been one hell of a ride, but I'm ready to see what college has in store for me.
