Post a focus/ essay 2

I wanted to really get into my adolescence in this essay. I am a firm believer that those years lay the foundation for what we choose to become in our adulthood- it is the awakening of our sense of self. There is no greater forum for discovering that than high school. I wanted to talk about the joy, the pain, the confusion, and every emotion that comes along with the territory of a being a teenager. I wanted to talk about first love and first heartbreak. The highs and lows of both scenarios have been there for me and I wanted to talk how those experiences made me feel and how they have shaped the man I have become. I wanted to talk about the innocence of adolescence, the college application process and the pressures that teenagers of today have to face. I have had great moments and moments that have made me feel terrible, but all of it is for the better. I wanted to give my perspective on what is the most confusing, horrible and wonderful times in anybodies life and I wanted to do it by opening up about what I went through in and out of high school as a teenager.
