Final Thoughts From a Graduating Senior

I keep waiting for the nerves to hit me, but I’m sure it will creep up when I least expect it. After spending 13 years in this town, I’m about to leave home. Although I’m ready to graduate, I would live at my school forever if I could. I would be forever young, and my friends and I would never part.

These final days are flying by, one by one, and I feel indifferent. I wish I could be sad or mad or happy. I just feel nothing. The past four years of high school have had ups and downs. I’ve grown so much as a person. I’ve survived broken hearts, found best friends, lost best friends, stayed out all night, felt exhausted after completing an essay, and celebrated school spirit. I’ve been a SEN10R, a daughter, a girlfriend, a student, a best friend, a teacher assistant, a volleyball player, a DECA president, a class officer, a mentor, and now I will be a REDHAWK.

After graduation, I know I won’t talk to half of my best friends again. I just hope the next 10 days pass by slowly because I want to enjoy everything. I can’t believe graduation day is only a few days away!
