A look back at high school
During high school, students are involved in many activities beyond their lasses. They help out at volunteer events, play in sports matches, complete homework, go to school dances, hang out with friends and have many other experiences. However, even though we try to make the best decisions we can, there are trade-offs for every action that we take. A few Bull’s Eye alumni share their regrets and what they wish they had done during their time at DBHS.
Class of 2019
“I don’t regret any of my decisions I’ve made in high school because I feel that every choice made me the person I am today.” – Catherine Liu
“I think one of my biggest regrets is spending so much of my time on my phone and on social media. Not only did I waste a lot of time that I could have spent studying, building real-world relationships, or sleeping, but scrolling through Instagram all the time gave me this unhealthy perpetual insecurity that’s been difficult to recover from.” – Amy Miyahara
“I regret not going to more school events. I didn’t realize how much attending performing arts shows or sports games contributed to school spirit and enthusiasm until I went to some as an upperclassmen. Spending that time with your friends and classmates can be so much more fulfilling than staying at home and studying.” – Amelie Lee
Class of 2018
“My main regret would be not opening up much or putting myself out there. Back at DBHS, I was really introverted, which led to me being somewhat anti-social and awkward. As a result, if I was not around my small, close group of friends, I was usually alone and shut off from most people.” – Justin Prakaiphetkul
“I regret being so willing to pick a few extra hours of studying over spending time with my friends and family, or even just time to let myself relax.” – Emily Jacobsson
