My high school year was so awesome. I had so much fun experiencing a numerous of things. I went on so many educational trips and they really gave me a different perspective of life. From my freshman year to my senior year I was nominated to do so many things. When I was a sophomore I was in a group called the leadership Academy where we did a numerous of activities. We teamed up with students from a school called New Trier. We went on alot of trips where we had alot of fun. I also went to Washington D.C. when I was in Close Up. We stayed in Washington for about a week or so. We did debates on politics and teamed up with students from all around the world. I just got back from Mexico where we also had so much fun. We teamed up with students from Nebraska and visited alot of cities in Mexico. We climbed pyramids and had the time of our lives. My senior was awesome and now I'm ready to graduate.
