I think it’s finally hit me what the end of all my high school classes really means.  And I started to cry because I know I really am going to miss the whole bunch of you, being in class together, getting to know our teachers and each other, the relationship dynamics of our year, and being the relatively tight group that we are.

Things in high school aren’t always so nice to remember, and I know there were times that I definitely felt I couldn’t take it anymore, and I couldn’t wait to get out of CIS.  Annoyance and anger and other teenage angst-ridden emotions, well, now that it’s pretty much over and done with, now, I’m not so certain about the future anymore.  And I’m a little scared to leave behind all that I’ve known for four years.

You all brought out the best in me.  I’ve grown up so much, from the first day I stepped into CIS and everyone was so friendly and supportive.  And when I finally take that last step out, no longer a CIS student, I truly hope that we’ll still manage to keep in touch, at least once in a while.

Because you all helped to formulate the craziest, funniest, most amazing memories that I hope I can remember forever.  All my friends who’ve stood by me, made me laugh and cheered me up whenever wherever, taught and showed me new things, always listened instead of waiting for their turn to speak; all the people I’ve met and wished I could have had more time to know, although there will probably never be enough time; all those that burrowed a place into my heart and secured a corner of my mind.

There’s a new stage in life waiting around the corner, and I wish every one of you the best and the brightest possible future.

Thank you all so much, for everything.
