Being At My Best.

As individuals, we all go through both high and low periods of time in our lives. There have been many of these for me, personally. In this post, however, I'd like to share the time in life when I was at my best. The best introductory phrase I could use to describe this time is "Spring '09."
There have been many times in my life that have acted as milestones; from the first day of school, the first game of football, and one's confirmation. At this time, another huge milestone was upcoming. That day was graduation, and it was gradually approaching.
I probably experienced more achievement in my last semester of high school than the rest of my life. I was now receiving recognition and accolades for the many years of hard work I had spent throughout my life. I had now experienced all-state achievements in both large-group and individual speech. I had gained the governors recognition scholar award, and attained the Bernie Saggau Award for excellence in athletics and academics.
The day of graduation finally came, and the stress had finally subsided. It was a great day, filled with many fond memories of my classmates and our experiences together. This day I made the opening invocation, was recognized for many scholarships and honors, and honored with the valedictorian award. This was without a doubt, the best time of my life. I was organized, worked hard, and took pride in my accomplishments.
It's important, however, not to dwell on what has passed, but to continue on in life and expect the best of yourself and every new situation you find yourself in. This lifestyle has translated well into my new life at college. I've found that, while it's a very new experience, I can still use these values of hard work, organization, and self-esteem in to their full extent and continue to be successful. God Bless.
