Since school is out for seniors, some have started to remember their childhood and all the happy and unforgettable memories that they made.

“I feel like it is going to be hard to move on from my childhood years when I turn 18,” Lucy Kiehne said. “They were unforgettable and I am so thankful for it.”

There are a lot of different memories that students may remember. These memories can be good or bad. Some of these rekindled memories can be of a special moment from major role models or leaders in their life.

“My elementary school soccer coach is my role model,” Tori Bockstader said. “She always made practices and games enjoyable because of the activities she came up with.”

Some people may feel a sense of relief when leaving their childhood behind because of the overwhelming excitement that washes over them when they think about what their future has in store.

“I am excited to go out and live on my own,” Alexis Fenstermacher said. “Gaining more responsibility sounds so great for me to experience.”

Science states that high schoolers tend to act older than they are, later finding themselves looking back on memories from their childhood, wishing they could go back when they realized it was coming to an end, according to lhstoday.com.

“Towards the beginning of the school year, I was so ready to go off to college,” Kiehne said. “But now that it is almost over, I want to go back to being six.”

If some people find it hard to make the transition into adulthood, creating a ritual for yourself is a great way to cope with a major change. For example, walking into rooms that hold a lot of memories or holding on to a special object to always remember being a kid, according to suncorp.com.au.

“When it is time for me to head to college, I plan on bringing at least one stuffed animal,” Bockstader said. “I feel as though it will bring me joy when I need it the most since I will be so far away from home.”
