COLUMN: First year senior cherishes experiences

Jared Franz • May 26, 2014

[/media-credit] Senior Jared Franz plans on attending a local community college after graduation and hopes to spend more time with the video camera and editing in college.

At the beginning of this year when {Greg} Stobbe told me I would have to write a senior reflection at the end, I thought, “How much could happen it a year?” There was no way I, a first year senior, would be able to create seven paragraphs reflecting one short year of high school.

But how wrong I was. This year has been more eventful and eye opening then the past three combined. I got to do everything from messing around at lunch, to wrestling at the senior retreat, to running through Disneyland trying to get on the rides.

I am also grateful for my teachers and all that I have learned from them. Between Stobbe’s random outbursts and {Rob} Foshee’s Economics tests, I’m surprised I survived. But I am thankful for all they have taught me in the classroom and for my daily life.

While attending FC, I was able to discover who I really am. I have been shaped by my superiors as well as my peers. I cannot express in words how truly blessed I have been by my classmates this year.

I would not have traded this year for the world. There were ups and downs as there always are on the rollercoaster of life. But as long as were all in the same cart, I believe we will make it through the rest of the track.
