This is my last blog in this school, so I decided to write about high school. We finish middle school and have to take the next step, which is attending a high school. Firstly, we are scared but eager to learn in high school. It is a great feeling that we get because high school is a big deal. Personally, going to high school was something extraordinary for me because I came from Jordan to the United States. I faced a big difference in culture, people, school, and the whole system of the country. When I arrived here, everybody who had been here from my country started saying that it would be impossible for me to attend L.H.S. My fear of repeating one more year at middle school grew. Everyone else discouraged me, but I had the hope in believing dreams, so I ignored the dissenters. However, I got to L.H.S, and people who disheartened me were shocked. Now, this is my last year here in high school. I have the same feeling for going to college as I had before for high school. I am glad that the four years of high school are almost done. I faced every obstacle in my way. I cried and smiled, but still I got stronger. Every time I fell seven times, I stood up eight times. I now realize that life has many experiences, and every old man who is educated is still a child comparing what he knows to life.
