Compare and contrast

When I was younger I used to love coming to school. I'm not joking, during the summer I would complain about how I missed school and how I couldn't wait for it to start again in August. During the school year, I would wake up early with ease just to get ready for class. I was always excited about school and something that was going on during or amongst the class. School presented me with challenges, it was my escape from home. Now, however, as a senior in high school I find it more and more difficult everyday to drag myself out of bed just to get ready for school. School has become boring, tedious, a waste of time. I am no longer excited about school because it no longer presents a challenge for me, so I've given up on trying. It is no longer an escape because with everyone in class perpetually gossiping, you can't escape anything. I can not wait to graduate this spring. I am told I will miss high school once its gone, and if you had asked me 5 years ago if I was going to miss it, I most likely would have said yes. But now, now I don't believe I will.
