Chapter 1, CompletedFiled Under: Announcements, Life

Four years ago, I was about 3 inches shorter and maybe 30 pounds lighter. My writing style was non-existent, and so was my work ethic. Freshman year of High School had just begun, and I was 14 years of age. Though I indeed was Moiz Khan, one could simply not consider the 2004 version of myself comparable to the current, 2008 version. An essential aspect of life is progress, and certainly, over the last four years, there has indeed been a great deal of progress. They say, when one part of your life ends, another begins (unless you die), and this is certainly the case.

I have finally finished my High School education, and it really feels like a whole portion of my life is over. From Kindergarten to Senior Year of school, there really wasn’t much of a difference. One could quite easily know what to expect as it would be largely the same people from the last year. The teachers would often assume a dual role of baby sitter and instructor, and a great percentage of the time would be wasted on trivial matters. As students, and also minors, we were given no freedom or respect from any elder, and though this was a necessary condition for the majority of my classmates, it certainly wasn’t for me. This resulted in a sizable portion of my time utterly wasted.

The previous thirteen years, and more importantly the previous four years thus could be considered one chapter in the book of life. It is indeed the preparation for the real world, but that is all. It is nothing more than a general rather vague period of time that does almost nothing to further knowledge. Real experiences aren’t experienced and life is entirely sheltered. But it all changes now, and it is due time. This is the beginning of the second chapter, the chapter that really begins the story, not just provide a mundane introduction.
