It's a chance for a new beginning, a place to fix mistakes and improve behaviors. With this year beginning it is an entirety new look on life for many seniors, for this is the year that we finally graduate. grad-uate. Applications have been put into colleges and still are being filled out and mailed out. This Is the year we actually actu-ally become adults. it 's a little nerve-wracking when thought up, a little frightening, but at the same time a relief. We started out as little kids who loved elementary school, went to junior high, and entered high school, which for many was all about teenage drama. Some are excited to leave, while others are just now realizing that college applications applica-tions are due. and that just maybe they should have done a little better in many of their classes. Whatever the circumstance, circum-stance, it is odd to think that in hall a year high school will be over. We will have all graduated and will be starting start-ing our own lives. Homes that we've grown up in will be moved out of and high school friends will be spread out across the state. Money that we ased to spend freely will be now saved tight for bare necessities. However, hopefully the skills that we've learned all growing up will be kept and the knowledge that we've learned throughout school will be used. It has always been said with knowledge comes power, which brings to mind a quote from the movie Spiderman, "With power comes great responsibility." responsi-bility." There is no denying that because in a few years we will be the ones running this country. We will no longer be teenagers but rather adults who must take responsibility respon-sibility for our actions.
