Everything I Need to Know...
I was scared, I was lost, I was confused and I felt alone. Beginning high school was probably one of the scariest times I've ever had. Once I was here at Millbrook I was totally lost. So many people, so many classes(A, B schedule right??) so much to do, and such little time in four years. I had no clue where my place and boy would it take sometime to find it. The middle of sophmore year we had to make a choice, to do IB or not to do IB. My initial thoughts, no thanks too much, don't want to do that. After lots of consideration and a large amount of influence from my parents I decided that maybe IB was a good idea. Junior year, I had many mixed feelings towards the program, I loved parts of it and I hated other parts. Now, looking back as a senior, I see it was one of the best decisions I've made. It was one of the hardest things I have had to do, and while my grades weren't always the best throughout the program, the relationships I made were so worth it. I made life long friends and got close with people that I never would have even imagined being friends with. I'm now apart of a family, and that is totally worth the sleepless nights, endless hours of wondering what I'm being yelled at in French, and countless IA's and word counts.

Well, I'm so glad you made the right decision to do IB. I didn't really get to know you until I had to be a movie star for your Film Project this year - and I'm pretty sure you hated me for a while after I hit your car with a snowball (it was a perfect throw btw). But getting to know you has been awesome - you are sassy, smart, and a spectacular person with a big heart. I hope you find success at Charlotte, and I know we'll still be in touch all through college.
