Senior year is flying by and the first marking period has come to an end. If you ask most seniors what they appreciate most this year, the answer is usually not having to take any more SAT or ACT exams. If you ask that question in reverse, the thing they dislike the most in senior year is apps, apps, and more apps.
As we struggled navigating the common app process and completing the endless supplemental essays, we are becoming optimistic that the calendar turns next week to those deadline times. The first day of this month was when many EDs or Early Applications are due. It will be the first of many milestones this year as we all plan our life after OP.
The brotherhood at OP is strong so we will continue to help each other through the application process and then through the months of waiting that may occur next. In the blink of an eye it will be spring and we will be sitting in the gym wearing the college sweatshirts of our future homes. So let’s enjoy the present, support our successful soccer and cross country teams this fall, and make as many good senior year memories as possible.
