Junction City High School has been the biggest influence on my life so far. I’ve lived in Junction City almost my entire life and I have watched people come and go throughout the years. Those who stayed here with me have become some of my most memorable friends. I’ve never met better teachers than here. I’ve made so many memories here with my friends and teachers that it’ll be hard to leave them behind.

High school for me had many ups and downs like with any person. I didn’t have as many friends as other people but I was super close to the ones I did have. I got used to people moving away because they were Military. While it sucked when one of my friends moved away, it always opened new doors for new people to enter my life. If not for the military, I would have never gotten the chance to meet the wonderful people I’ve come to know. Here is the only place I’ve ever heard of where the teachers truly go above and beyond to help their students learn.

Here is the only place I’ve ever heard of where the teachers truly go above and beyond to help their students learn. My teachers have been so supportive of me, even when I struggled, even when I didn’t want it. But I’m so appreciative of those who kept supporting me and who wouldn’t let me give up trying to pass.

My only regret is letting my high school years pass by so quickly without taking advantage of it. There are so many possibilities and pathways high school can lead you to, and you will miss them if you don’t take chances. My only advice is to take risks whenever you can. Don’t miss an opportunity to do something with your life by being too afraid or too lazy to take that chance. I’ve missed many opportunities by being afraid to take those chances.

All in all, I loved my experience here at Junction City High School. I’ve met some of the best people on the planet here who have all been so supportive of me. Words cannot even begin to describe how appreciative I am of them, when they wouldn’t give up on me and who gave up a part of their life to help me with mine. I wouldn’t change it for the world and I am really going to miss this peak of my life.
