would i
go back?
iven the chance, would I go back and relive a day, week, or semester of school? Not a chance. Given the chance, would I change events in my high school career? I would without a doubt. I would not trust people as easily. Instead, I would keep my nose to the grind and not concern myself things that in the end were a waste of time.
In going back, I would want to know everything I do now. With that, I hope to be able to make different decisions in the various situations that I regret. For example, at the end of my Junior year, I was given the opportunity to participate with the school Standleaders, known as Collins Crew. Though at times I had fun, I wish I did not even consider participating. Soon after joining, the club took a turn from being fun (as it traditionally was under former sponsors) to being torment. By not participating in the club, I would have more time to take care of other things. I would have more time to do homework that was pushed aside. I would have more time to spend time with friends. I would have more time to search for scholarships. I would have more time to sleep. My life would have been easier had I not participated in Collins Crew.
Despite these things, part of me would not change anything that has happened over the last four years. These experiences made me who I am today. I am wise because I have been foolish. I am patient because I have lost my temper. I am better because I have been worse off.
