“I am turning 18 in a little over a month, but I don’t feel like an adult,” Syed said. “I am excited to start college because it’s a fresh start and a progression towards my future, but it is a very big change and happening really fast.” come and gone. Each year, a handful of students have taken an early graduation program o ered at Castle View High School. “Since graduating early, I’ve been able to work a lot to be more nancially prepared for college,” Posch said. “I’m planning on pursuing a double major in nance and youth ministry, so I’ve been having nancial talks with my parents before fully committing.”

Senior Carter St. Clair said the process is all “bittersweet,” noting she is excited to start new things while at the same time being sad to leave old things behind.

Early graduation is a unique experience for many reasons, one of them being no longer returning to school with your classmates.

With only two months left in the last year, it is common for students to get senioritis, which is a supposed a iction of students in their nal year of high school or college, characterized by a decline in motivation or performance. Castle View students agree it is real and it hits really hard.

“I have been trying my best to stay focused and not let the idea of graduating a ect my motivation and how hard I work. It’s de nitely tempting to stop trying since I have already committed to CU Boulder, but I have to remind myself to nish strong and that I still have AP tests to take,” Syed said.

“It didn’t really settle that I had graduated until everyone went back to school [after winter break] and I didn’t,” Posch said. “If I’m being honest, I don’t know if it has truly set in and I won’t until I walk across the stage in May. While that’s a little scary, it also makes me proud of myself for doing how well I did in school and that I have made it this far.”

Posch, who has her heart set on attending Indiana Wesleyan University in the fall, is still nervous for adulthood.

Senior Kyra Markert said she has been taking challenging classes, and working hard to try and stay on top of schoolwork so she can graduate feeling good about her high school experience. For some seniors, like Alexa Posch, graduation has already

“I think there are a couple of things that I might not be totally prepared to face like cost of living, but I am excited to be able to be more independent,” she said, “I’m scared to leave the familiar. I know so many people here and my family lives here, so it’s hard for me to go to a place 15 hours away with no friends or family around me.”
