High school should be an enjoyable and fascinating period of time for most students. It is the time for one to learn more profound knowledge and to develop oneself more deeply. To me high school was the most important time, unlike the other students; I've learned my lessons the hard way. My high school experiences have completely changed me, from inside out. I never regretted anything I've done or been through. All I can say is I've learned my lessons.

Whenever people discuss their high school lives, they usually talk about the happiest moments or the excitement they have encountered. All I can remember about my high school life were the troubles that brought endless fights between my parents and me; the fears and later the pain caused by my lack of confidence.

Everything started well when I was a freshman. I went to school and did my homework every day just like the other students. At that time all I could think about was study, because that was the only thing my parents keep telling my about. So I followed their wishes. Being an excellent student, made me felt superior in front of the others, but inside, I felt very lonely and empty. I still remember the feeling of desire and jealousy

Now, I've learned from my lessons and l know there will be lots of new lessons and even harder tests for me to meet. But no matter if it's a good thing or bad thing; it will always be an experience. A valuable experience will make a difference and it is priceless. These experiences are the fundamentals of my life: the determinations of who I am right now, and the preparations of my future.

I started my actions by going to an alternative school to make up all the credits I missed from high school. The school's first impression on me was that it was like a prison. The students were prisoners. All the students who attended this school had done something wrong and we were here for one reason... to renew ourselves again. I still remember what my teacher told me; we have to love and respect ourselves, in order to love and care for others. Then I started to rediscover myself. The teacher helped me discover my interests in painting and designing. So I had a lot of opportunities to express myself, my thinking, my creativity through painting and designing. The teachers even asked me to paint a huge painting of my thoughts for the school and to show the other students the way I revived. So I gather all my thoughts, including my strengths and weakness, the massive pain and disappointments I gave to my parents, and the chaos I brought into my life. I included the saddest moments, the joy of leading myself back to the right track again. Finally, it took me about three weeks to finish this painting I named "Revive".
