重慶 古平平

對于即將結束高中生活的“我”來說，剛剛邁入高中生活時的情景還歷歷在目……

1The last days of my senior high are coming and I can only imagine how I'll be feeling when I step out of my high school grounds for the very last time.Throughout these three years,I imagined graduating from senior high many times,but I didn't think that the time to graduate would come soon enough.Now,that time is finally nearing.

2I remember my first days of senior high.I was excited to experience all the new things that waited for me.From sports to all the clubs, I just wanted to know what everything was like.Now that I've done all those things,I am about to start a new adventure that will allow me to have many new experiences.Some said that senior high was the best time of their life, while others said that senior high was the worst time of their life.Honestly, I'm not sure which of these I fall into.I've had plenty of good times and many bad times in senior high.The only thing I can say is that I have learned something.And the most important thing is that I not only learned through books,but also learned about life and the road ahead of me.

3From an inexperienced junior student to a somewhat mature senior, I have really changed a lot.I started senior high as a confident“athlete”, dying to explore the world,which I did not know much about.

4Now I'm leaving senior high,knowing that there are many difficulties in the real world.I strongly believe that senior high is the open door to the rest of my life.In fact, I don't know what the world out there holds for me.All I can do is enter it and hope for the best.
