When I was young, I was taught I could be whoever I wanted to be. That I could stop world hunger, and become the first woman president; while of course, hanging out with my friends in pre-school and playing on the monkey bars during recess. Then I grew up a little, and entered Green Hope High School. I of course tried hard in all of my classes, and made good grades, but the thing I worked on the most was golf. I started off Sophomore year playing only a few matches in the season, and ended my senior year helping carry the team all the way to the High School Woman’s Golf State Championship in Pinehurst. I had the best teammates, and I will always remember those three years and cherish every bad tee shot, putt, and hole in one. Another great influence on my life was my family. My parents pushed me to be better, and I will always appreciate that because without their belief and support in me, I would never have accomplished all that I have. Even though it was only me and my parents, my friends all became my family and I was privileged to have each and every one of them always there for me throughout my whole life. My mom and dad are the greatest people I have met in my life, and I am blessed to have them as my parents. Freshman year was the biggest transition yet for me; becoming a 9th grader I thought was epic because I was big and powerful because I was finally a high schooler. That only lasted for one day, as I realized seniors ruled the school. Sophomore year was better, mainly because I gained confidence though golf, and started doing other extracurricular like Environmental Club and International Club. Junior year I finally learned what being a normal high schooler meant. Unfortunately, I half died that year with my hard course load and on top of that had to keep up with all of the clubs and golf throughout the year. Even though I worked hard, I did make time to have fun during the weekends and summers if I wasn’t working or golfing. I traveled to many places that year around the world and got to experience cultures and lifestyles I never knew existed. Senior year entailed more cracking down on college applications and SAT, but not many hard classes. This year has by far been the best year, because I made some new great friends and had amazing memories with my best friends. The thing I will remember most about my high school experience is my friends. I met the best friends a girl could have, and I only wish I had become friends with them sooner, because four years was too short of a time with them. I know we will all best friends forever, but as we are all going to different colleges next year, I won’t be able to see them in the hallways and in class, complain to them about homework assignments, or go off campus lunch with them anymore. And now, I begin the next best four years of my life in college. As I think of my future, I am not exactly sure what will happen, but I do know that Duke will be amazing. I didn't think this in the begging of high school,but after seeing all the amazing things that my classmates have done I now believe my childhood dreams of someday stopping world hunger and becoming the first woman president could come true.
