「My way」

Message from the photographer
Being in the last year of high school was like not knowing if you were going to be part of society or not. If you decide to work, you are part of society. If you decide to go to university, then you are still a student. If you fail the university entrance exams, then you have another year of studying and will be neither employed nor a student. He is in his last year of high school, wanting to go to university but afraid of being neither here nor there. I wanted everyone to know that he is not only having fun but is worried and thinking about his future.
About the subject
I met him in high school when we both joined the same extracurricular activity. I chose this topic because I wanted to express what it was like to be in the last year of high school and what he was like studying for university entrance exams.
