One special semester
Variety Staffer Anna Tenner, a senior, reflects on her time in the ODYSSEY.
Going through three and a half years of high school without ODYSSEY makes me so much more thankful for the one semester I’ve gotten to spend with some of the people I call my best friends. I’ve became a better student, a better team member, a better teacher and a harder worker. I thank the people that have helped me this far, especially Mr. Ragsdale for showing me just how rewarding things that are difficult can be.
I’ve became a better student, a better team member, a better teacher and a harder worker.
When I think back on my high school career, I have just as many regrets as anyone else, but my biggest regret is not getting to spend more time with the wonderful scholars of ODYSSEY. I will take the lessons that I have learned in this class to college and to my adult life.
Writing this, I realize it sounds like just a bunch of conclusion sentences, but that makes sense. This is the conclusion of the first part of my life, the only part of life I’ve known this far. ODYSSEY will stay with me throughout the next parts of my life until I become the person I grow to be.
