Graduation

A little over a week ago, I graduated from Mountain View High School. My final GPA was 4.32. If only my senior year were considered, I would have a 4.625 on a 4.5 scale. Here are my final grades for my senior classes:

Class Name	Grade	Grade Points
DE English Composition	B+	4.5
AP Statistics	A	5.0
Introduction to Engineering	A+	4.5
Principles of Technology	A+	4.5
Spanish IV	A	4.0
Chemistry	A+	4.5
DE Calculus	A	5.0
DE Physics	A	5.0

I graduated Summa Cum Laude, and had both an honor stole for that and a National Honor Society honor stole. It was surprising to me how many seniors put in too little effort in the end, and did not receive their NHS honor stole.

I am, as I have stated previously, excited about attending Rensselaer in the fall. It did not hit me, however, that I would not see many of my high school friends for a very long time until recently. I think it hit me after I attended a graduation party, and said goodbye to many of my friends there. I felt similar to how I felt when I had to come back home from the National Youth Leadership Forum on Technology (NYLF/Tech), though I was more saddened then than now. I will very likely never see the people I met at NYLF/Tech again, but will very likely see many of my high school friends again at future reunions.
