Senior
When I was in high school I remember being amazed by how much grownups seemed to forget about being young. But as it turns out....you do forget. A lot of it. And a lot of it’s important, and funny, and sometimes scary.I do remember that I hated high school graduation. Not because I didn’t want to graduate, but because I knew I was supposed to be excited but I didn’t know how to be excited about a future that didn’t exist yet and that I couldn’t imagine.So a couple weeks before graduation, I went to St. Johnsbury Academy and I talked with nine high school seniors…about what they’re afraid of, what they’re excited about….and also, prom. We talked about prom.
