Reflecting on these four years, I begin to weep. Thinking about all of those memories that were made and the friendships that were built makes my heart hurt to know that our time all together is coming to a close. Inside jokes, embarrassing memories, laughing entirely too loud in class, and many more things will never be forgotten but will seem less vital in our daily lives as we all grow into adults. Those unimaginable things, like paying bills on your own, will become our reality and life-changing things in high school, like missing a big party for a family weekend and believing that it was the end of your reputation, will seem to fade. We will all reach new heights in our lives and hopefully achieve greatness that will be the new things to talk about. I have faith in everyone graduating in the class of 2014, but I’m afraid of losing those ones that I got close to. The ones I call best friends, or sisters, will be the ones I will stay in contact with. I will remember the guy who was too shy for conversation but had an amazing personality underneath, or the guy who always had something to say about everyone, good or bad, but really has a good heart. I’ll never forget that girl who wanted more for her life but never felt worthy, or the girl with an abnormal appearance to others and was called mean names by others, when she only wanted to be different. I’ll never forget those times I saw them smiling and enjoying the times with their friends because that was a step to move on for them. Those teachers who in the beginning were out to get you, that then turned into one of the only people you can trust, will forever be loved by me and will never be forgotten. They have made my high school experience an unforgettable one and have helped me prepare myself for bigger and much better things. I’m proud to be a part of such an amazing group of teens who are all moving on together. One day we will all, hopefully, be reunited and we can share our achievements and reminisce on all of our high school memories that will forever be in our hearts.
