High School is kind of like a videogame, you’ve reached a new level, you have upgraded armor and skills which will be used to beat every boss you encounter. You are no longer the inexperienced level 1 you were, now you’re a full fledged hero. You’ve slain essays, You've defeated final after final, destroyed exam after exam. But now is not the time to let up, now is the time to keep going, to fight harder, you may think you've beaten the boss already, but no, you still have a long way to go, you have many levels to pass and many more obstacles to face. Don't walk- run, don't relax- go harder, keep leveling up, and after you beat the game use the skills you've gained to go even farther.
You may feel as though you may relax because you are nearing the end of the game, but that is when you gear up and prepare for battle, the final boss is coming, senior year.
