last day of high schoolWell thats it.  My last day of school at Clear Brook. I'm sad but i'm also ready to go out and live my own life. I'm definately gonna miss all of my friends that I have grown so close to these past 4 years. I'm going to miss the atmosphere of High School, the clubs, some teachers, and yes...even band. Its kinda sad (in the pathetic sense) because i even took a picture of my hat box number...MY NUMBER!! Of all the things that i could have taken a picture of, i took my number...
Just like what many other people have done before me...i'm going to write simple yet heart-felt messages to my friends. Keep in mind that even if you're not on here doesn't mean that i haven't thought of you...its just that sometimes i run out of things to say or i just get tired of typing...you know how it is...
Ingrid: 7 years...come and gone...but i'm sure that our friendship will last longer than that. We've been through 3 friendship losses and yet our friendship is still just as strong. I'm going to miss you so so much next year...it makes me sad just to think about it. But we need to pursue our dreams and goals. So Ingrid, good luck in all that you do, in college and in the future and i hope to see that "Dr." in front of your name in 10 years or so... 
Ashley: whats up my artistic friend? i'm glad to have gotten the chance to get to know you more these last couple of years, and i'm sure that since we're both going to be staying in town we'll be hanging out more next year. You're a funny girl and i'm gonna miss you lots. I hope that everything goes the way you planned. Good Luck w/ graphic design.
Katrina: hey katrin-ee!! heh...what can i say...you're a an awesome friend. I'm going to miss your personality, especially your funny little quirks that you do. Good luck at Texas State and don't party too much...because i know you will...
Bryan: HI B!! its been a great year and you've made it so much better by cheering me up in AP Bio. Honestly i don't think i could have gotten through that class without you. You're funny, you can be sweet, and you're fun to hang out with. Oh and you hate a certain smelly, and hairy person.  Good luck on your senior year, stay Muslim or whatever, and enjoy High School while it lasts...
Rachel: Woo! go Techno music!! :) Rachel i'm going to miss all of your cookies, cakes, cinnimon rolls, and whatever baked good you bring to school. But of course i'm going to miss blasting some techno group out the windows of our cars. heh. Thanks for introducing me to Bubble Island and Snow Beach, you've turned me into a complete addict. I wish you well at Texas Tech and in your future career in fashion merchandising.
Amber: Why hello my dear...its been a while hasn't it? Its been great getting to really know you this past year...I'm going to miss all of our great in depth conversations at lunch, and i'll miss working on your art work, and taking credit for it  I hope to see you at UNT or somewhere around Dallas in a year or two. Good Luck at wherever you're going to pursue that interior design degree.
Tiffany: Hey you. I've been so lucky to have a friend like you. You always happen to show up at the right places and the right times to make my day brighter and i thank you for that. Thanks for always being there to talk and listen, and to put up with my complaints (especially about a certain math teacher). You're a sweet and awesome girl and i'm gonna miss you lots. Good Luck at Dallas Baptist, and i hope to see you somewhere around Dallas in one or two years.
To Everyone: I wish every graduate and non-graduate luck on their future. I hope everyone gets what they wish for. I'll miss you all.

“Dream Big” Author unknown
If there were ever a time to dare,
To make a difference
To embark on something worth doing
It is now.
Not for any grand cause, necessarily –
But for something that tugs at your hear
Something that is worth your aspiration
Something that is your dream.
You owe it to yourself
To make your days count.
Have fun. Dig deep. Stretch.
Dream big.
Know, though,
That things worth doing
Seldom come easy,
There will be times when you want to
Turn around
Pack it up and call it quits
Those times tell you
That you are pushing yourself
And that you are not afraid to learn by trying.
Persist.
Because with an idea,
Determination and the right tools,
You can do great things.
Let your instincts, your intellect
And let your heart guide you.
Trust.
Believe in the incredible power
Of the human mind
Of doing something that makes a difference
Of working hard
Of laughing and hoping
Of lasting friends
Of all the things that will cross your path
Next year
The start of something new
Brings the hope of something great.
Anything is possible
There is only one you
And you will pass this way but once.
Do it right. |
