My highschool reflection paper

Through my high school existence, I have endured many unique events. Anything from running through the hallways with my shoe untied, to sprinting around Skills USA competitions with tie on loose. Believe it or not, that’s just scraping the surface of my past 4 years. Exciting, right?
Freshman year was the year my clothes stopped fitting; due to an undesired growths berg. Other than that, I was ahead of my class this year taking sophomore math and science. Obviously, for biology, I had my ways of passing ;). It was this year that I also met my main friends that I have had at this school, and all are mischief is to be remembered.
Sophomore year was my lazy year. I had practically failed three courses, but managed to limit it to only two. Other than that it was the year I realized how much I dislike the Spanish language. Who came up with that... just, no?
Junior year was a normal year of high school, just getting through the year looking towards my future days to come. This was also the year of minecraft. It became an addiction, and now I will tell you a story about my time in Etheria (my minecraft map).
It all began when I found this hill, a very large hill. It overlooked a beautiful forests and grasslands biome where nothing but the light of day and pigs could be seen. It was the perfect building spot with a large water source close to hand; Lake Eldenshire. I had dug out a small riven around the lake with a 1 block gap between the lake walls which was replaced with glass. The perfect hide out I though… but soon I realized I was not the only one with that opinion.
At dawn I knew something was wrong.. my door was broken down and I heard footsteps in the kitchen. Surely it was zombies… but I was wrong again. It was Jeffery, the pig! And so began, my year with the pig.
Senior year was when I realized that I will soon be in need of a larger income, so I set aside gaming and said my fare wells to Jeffery the pig. Thus, working hard on my music & computer arts.
