I remember walking into my first day of freshman year and being completely terrified by how huge JHS looked compared to the school I attended before it. I spent the first couple of weeks wandering the halls like a maze and going into the cafeteria only to see an ocean of faces and not a single one I recognized. Those were the days.
After four successful years of high school, I feel as if I know every nook and cranny of this school. I have had some of the coolest teachers, and I have developed some amazing friendships with the people I have met in the last few years here and created some great memories with them that I plan to carry with me forever. As much as I’ve been looking forward to graduation for the past ever, I get even more bummed the closer it gets. With it being just around the corner now, I’m feeling pretty blue. It’s scary to think that soon we may all be going our separate ways. Although it’s almost too easy to stay connected these days, it just won’t be the same. I’ll miss everyone so much and I’ll be cheering just as loud for each of my classmates when they cross the stage on graduation. We have hurt, recovered, celebrated, learned, and grown together, and I couldn’t ask for a better group to have spent my high school career with.
I have a feeling that things will be getting pretty emotional during this next week and a lot of tears will be shed leading up to graduation day, even more on graduation day. I wish the best of luck to everyone, and I’ll miss each and every one of you so much!
