High School Never Ends? Wrong..

I've heard the phrase "high school never ends" countless times already. Whenever I do hear or read this phrase, I remember high school and how much I messed up. If you were my classmate in grade school, i was doing pretty well! getting good grades and not getting into any serious trouble. If you were my classmate in freshmen year of HS, then you'd know how much i started to screw up. I got lazy and stubborn. Homework was only something I do when I get to school and seatworks just mean "hey! seatmate, lets help each other!".
2ND year wasn't a great year for me either. I was just coming out of the foreigners class, which they just abolished! which means getting used to new classmates and all. I didn't like most of my teachers and I'm sure they didn't like me too much either.
3rd Year/Junior Year! oh.. my.. god.. i threw this year around like an old pathetic doll! I had so much fun in the classroom rather than actually paying attention to the lecture. I failed my Filipino class 3 out 4 times that year.. I failed English terribly once! the 3rd quarter of that year was hell!! I did absolutely nothing for my academics.. I didn't pay an ounce of attention, i never handed in my homeworks or seatworks and I treated my exams like they were rubbish! that was the quarter I failed Filipino and English at the same time! haha! My class adviser, Mr. Rey Arawag, said that he did some research on me! he said that I was a good boy in grade school and that when I got into High School, I started on a downhill adventure! sooo... 4th quarter came.. i did a little better! enough for me to be promoted to my Senior Year!! oh yeah! haha!
Senior Year was finally here! this time I just knew I had to make up, and so I did! I did all that I could cause I knew that university was my next stage in life! I had the best class adviser that anyone could ask for, Mr. Bobby Libao! I had a great line up of teachers and I had awesome awesome classmates. 4I was my class! and I love them to death! this was without a doubt the best class I ever had! I formed a bond with 5 other great people who I will love all the way to my grave! and a lot more people who I will cherish for the rest of my life as well! I had the right set of friends, the right set of teachers and I was on the right track! My grades were never better! there was one thing sort of slowing me down from enjoying my senior year to the fullest, but I wont get into detail about that. anyways.. I was doing great with friends and grades! I even became the student teacher for my Physics class! I got a few awards for football..
and so we return to the serious part again... I know I would've done much better than I had done back in High School! there would've been so many things I'd change about myself, its crazy! If high school never did end, then that would give me enough time to change a lot of things! I cherish a lot of memories and people from high school, but there is still that bug that biting me in the back of my head telling me, "you're an ass for not taking it seriously!". I've made too many decisions that I regret. If there would be any chance that I could change part of my high school life, I would grab it by the balls!
