college

In most cases, senior year is arguably the most stressful year for teens. I'm stressed too, and if you are a senior, chances are you're stressed. Especially being a foreigner, this whole application process is way more complicated than where I am from.  Recommendation letters, test scores, EC's, and many other requirements... 

This whole process reminds me how quick time passes by. I still remember my freshman year like it was yesterday. I was this shy and skinny kid from the other side of the world. I didn't speak at all the first week, I was simply afraid of making mistakes while speaking. (Now look at me; making mistake after mistake) My biggest dream was to make the basketball team in America, and I worked on my game like crazy. Couple weeks later I played my best ball at the tryouts and made the team. Making the basketball team, helped me a lot. I started gaining confidence, because you know... I was the man after all.

You don't realize how fast time passes. People have always told me to enjoy these years, and I didn't really listen to them. Now thinking about past, it is easy to understand why they said this. Yes, the college you go to might have the power to determine your future, however still gotta enjoy it man...

Also, finish your testing before senior year. I wish I've done that...
