Woohoo! The big day is here! I cant say I liked High School or that it didnt make me miserable most of the time. High school is tough- at least it was for me. It’s just another time in your life where in-compassionate souls judge you for what you wear, what you like, and how you speak. Just another time to witness humanity let you down as you both experience and watch bullying take place all around you. Just a place where the cafeteria food is cold and bitter, and the people even more so. Just like middle school, you still have to ask to go to the bathroom and are told what to wear. Except now, unlike middle school, you have heaps of AP work, have the burden of SATs and other testing and are constantly worried about college. High school sucks. But thats what makes me all the more proud of myself. However, I could have never done it alone. I want to thank my Mom for never allowing me to give up. My Dad for being strong for his family. My Tay for being my rock and being there for me through it all. Traci and Cory for being like second parents to me and welcoming me with such open arms. Good friends like Shawn, Lisa and Kim for supporting me since I was little. They say after high school, nothing that happened in high school matters. That you forget names and faces of the very people you sat next to at lunch every day. And while that might be half true, I will never forget some of the amazing people I’ve had the pleasure to know. I will never forget my first day of kindergarden with Breanna Saucedo, and becoming instant friends for life. I will remember the annual Halloween sleepovers at Ashlin Fujinami’s house. How I knew for years that Lexi and Dominic were meant to be. I will remember the kindness and compassion I admire so much from Giselle. The creativity of Rene and how amazed I was with the decor she made for the Winter Rally. The way Mecca McFadden and I can talk about politics forever. How Adom and I can talk for hours about Harry Potter. When Taylor and I had a heart to heart on the bus on the way home from Disneyland. The way Lonyai always makes me laugh, even when I want to cry. The time Alexis Rene and Cierra surprised me with kindness (I never even knew they cared about me) when dried my tears at the Christmas Banquet when I never felt so alone and afraid. Sophia and I chatting Mr. Kitchens class away. Monica’s intelligence. The way Jelly is the biggest book nerd. The fact that Emily is one of the most amazing workers I’ve ever met. The way Nikki can always brighten up anyone’s day. Jakob Parra’s sassy-ness. Walking home with Syndey Well’s everyday after school in 8th grade. Crista’s bright personality and warm smile. The way Sam is quiet in a way that reminds me so much of myself when I was a freshman. The way Michael is so willing to help out a friend. All of these people and so, so many more, I will never forget. High school may not be easy. But it’s not the bad that happens in our life that matters, it’s the good. The moments we share, the memories we make, and the way we so easily forever become a part of each others heart. Im excited to be leaving high school and going onto bigger and better things, but I will forever miss and remember those who impacted my life for the good and continue to love those who have supported me through this all.
