What I've learned this year

As I look back on the past week, month, quarter, semester and year; I realize how much I've grown and how much I've learned. In science for example I learned the complexities of chemistry and the basic concepts of physics. Ok, so not quite THIS intense because I was just a beginner learning the different bonds and simple things, but this is an idea!

I also look back and I realize that I have more friends my freshman year at high than I have most of my life. This sudden growth amungst my peers, teachers, parents, and coaches I feel has made me a happier, harder working and more determined to get good grades. http://psychcentral.com/lib/2008/the-importance-of-friendship/
