Assignment 24- Tom Polites

This has undoubtedly been the fastest year of my life. It seems like yesterday we were riding the stationary bikes, reading Writing with Style, and going to UK Football games on Saturdays. I'll be sad to say goodbye to junior year. All in all, it was a fantastic year. First semester I achieved my goal of maintaining my 4.0 and (fingers crossed) it appears that I will meet that same goal this semester as well. I started playing two new sports this year for HC, which turned out to be great decisions and I look forward to continuing them next year. Tennis was a bit of a risk as I was fearful I would make a bafoon out of myself at tryouts, but the risk paid off. This year hasn't been easy by any means and has been a struggle at some points, especially every three to four weeks when unit assignments were due. However, it is a year I will look back upon fondly as I had experiences that I will remember as some of the best in high school, and I'm excited to have more of them this summer. I am nervous but excited for what lies ahead next year. I am certainly intimidated by even the mere thought of applying to college, but I am ready to face the challenge and excited for the possibilities ahead.
