Self Reflection (Overall)
From the beginning of the year until the end, I've struggled with trying to be original. I always want to do something or some things my own way, but this year I learned that sometimes I just can't manage that and strong overarching performance at the same time. I've started to conform a little, not completely, but enough that I can relax a little, and no longer have to constantly push myself past my creative limit. It's removed a lot of stress from my school work, and I believe it will be even more beneficial to me as time progresses. Moving into senior year, I'm starting to get excited for college applications and acceptances, but we'll see how the tide rises!
