It's almost here. It carries a surreal sensation - something I've never quite felt before. I can't wait for it to come, but I want these next few weeks to last forever (except for waking up at 7:30 AM, I could do with a more manageable sleep schedule). It's a train, huffing towards the foreboding horizon, ready to indiscriminately trample anything on the tracks. As I witness my time at DSA waning away, I can let go of all the petty high school drama and the long stressful nights of doing procrastinated homework while savoring the best memories.
Joining clubs, navigating my way through DSA, and learning how to use basic Adobe software filled my freshman year. My sophomore year brought more good and bad experiences. Math was the epitome of this: struggling to sit still during lectures and then laughing and talking with new friends. I'll forever remember the shenanigans we did and how I managed to survive even the least interesting of the classes. This was the year that I really got into 3DS Max in Digital Design class, furthering my digital art skills. Junior year was weird - an entire year online on zoom - but I grew nevertheless. I forced myself to adapt to a new environment and began learning how to code in C#. This year. Senior year. I've learned so much this year - not only academically and in AGAD through honing my 3D modeling and coding skills, but also personally. I've done so much this year that's helped me to grow as a person. I've learned so much not related to school and I feel much more prepared to be an adult now than I did at the beginning of the school year. I've grown in maturity, honesty, and patience this year, and I think I just might finally be prepared to go out into college and eventually into the real world. Attending DSA the past few years has been boring, exciting, stressful, but right now, it's mostly bittersweet. I'm leaving this school that's shaped me academically and personally, and although I won't ever be back as a student, I'll forever remember the amazing people and great memories from DSA. Graduation is only a few weeks away - and I think I'm finally ready for it.
