First, I would like to start by saying thank you to the main people in my life who have helped me the most, my parents. At times when I wanted to give up, they were there pushing me to keep going. I also want to thank my friends for being there for me through my not so good times. Thank you to the teachers for not giving up on me when I was suffering from the senioritis and also for actually making me do work so I could learn something! It is so crazy to think that we will be graduating in a few months. Everything has gone by so fast, but I have learned many lifelong lessons from my high school experience. As we went through elementary and middle school we began to change in many ways. In middle school, it gave us the opportunity to meet new people and become more independent. After those 3 years flashed passed us, we were ready to take the big step into high school. When we first entered high school everything felt so strange because we were the new underclassmen that were clueless and socially awkward. Now, halfway through our senior year we think back to those very first days. It is so hard to believe that the people I have been going to school with for 12 years are going to be starting their own lives and going to college or getting jobs. Everyone says time flies when you’re having fun and that is exactly what happened. These four years have been a roller coaster of emotions but there is one thing that I will never forget and that is all of the amazing friendships
