Idk how to start this but I guess I will start off by saying who I am. My name is Leilani, I am 16 years old and I currently go to Monache High. The most common question I get asked by people is how to say my name, and what does it mean. Well my name is pronounced as lay-loni. Yup, It’s easier than it looks! Oh and the meaning of my name is “heavenly flowers; royal child of heaven.” Although my friends and family know me as “Lei” for short.
I’m shy and quiet, but once you get to know me, you know that I looovvveeee to talk and that I laugh at almost everything (I’M NOT JOKING.) Something I get a lot is that I look mean because I have a straight face (a lot of people know it as a b**** look lol) and that I look stuck up, but that once they got to know me I was the total opposite.
A few things I have to say about my high school years is, it was bittersweet. I’ve had some really good times these past 3 years, but I’ve also had some extremely rough times. I always say how much I hate school and how I can’t wait to leave but in reality, I know i don’t want to leave and that i will miss all the crazy/sad/fun times I’ve had. I think the most I will miss about high school is playing volleyball. I’m gonna miss being on the court. I’m gonna miss my teammates who turn out to be family. I’m gonna miss all the memories and bus rides. I’m gonna miss sharing laughs and cheering after every point. I’m going to miss all of that. Some advice I want to give if you play sports is something my coaches would always tell us, “Always give it your all because you never know when it will be your last day playing.” Another thing I will absolutely miss are those Friday night lights and all of the school spirit and the chanting/screaming, hearing “TOUUCHDOWWNNN MARAUDERSSS” and waking up with no voice because of the night before. So believe me when they say that high school is the best.
Well, my work here is done. See you in my next blog 🙂
