What does it really mean to be a senior?

In my Earlier blog, "My Thoughts as a Rising Senior", I posed the question. Here is my answer as promised.
My answer to this question will change during my senior year. I will answer what I THINK it means to be a senior, because I am not exactly there yet.
I think it means, time to wake up, and be serious. It's only a matter of time before I get thrown out of my security and comfort zones. (I am already freaked out thinking about that!) It's also excited because I, along with my class, will be at the top, but then everyone will stare at us, waiting for our move. I hope I can be a better role model this year. I have to start really thinking clearly about four extremely important things which are : my choices, actions, my present and my future. As my friend who is a former principal at my school, quoted Descartes, "Cogito, Ergo Sum" which translates in "I think, therefore I am"
I realized that during this year, I will turn eighteen, and with that comes great powers, but I am reminded of what Ben Parker (Peter Parker's uncle) said, "With power, comes great responsibilities"
Like other seniors, I have one thing on my mind, Graduation! My family, and friends can tell how over the top I am about graduating! I am literally counting down to the day! ( see the countdown!) I will post 3 blogs on the weeks before graduation and one after.

My Thoughts as a Rising Senior

Whoa! I cannot believe time flies so fast... It seems like yesterday I was leaving school to meet the warm rays of the sun that I was longing for.. Already its only 7 weeks before I return to school as a senior.. My thoughts start to shift in a new direction due to excess time on my hands.... I start pondering this question " What does it really mean to be a senior?" and I reflect on my past mistakes I made.. Some with regret and some with laughter.. I will post my answer to the question stated in the next blog.
When I got my class ring (more details about it later) I begun thinking and realizing that it was my last year, my final chance to do what I have always wanted to do.. I realized that the past three years I have been too focused on the serious things and not really having fun. I decided to let things slide on their own. ( My grades is a exception to that sliding thing). I want to have fun this year. After all , A senior gotta have his share of fun? Correct me, if I am wrong!
I also realized that I have to follow my heart, and not give up on my dreams, my passions, which I have neglected in the past three years. It has cost me dearly but I hope to make big strides to make up for it!
This is the beginning of a series of exciting blogs that will document my senior year, its ups and down, my experiences as a senior, my graduation, and my transition to Gallaudet University, where I will also write about my first year there here too!
