Its been a pleasure

Can't believe it, 4 years of high school will soon be wrapping up. Seems like it wasn't that long ago when I walked through the cafe doors for the first time, getting a locker, and then getting lost in the school searching for the way out. Still remember all the struggles with finding classrooms on the first day of school, and of course, the first time being able to go to Woodside for lunch every day. Many things have changed in 4 years. Not only do we feel the school is very small, we feel the classrooms are getting boring, not only are we able to walk around the school with our eyes closed, we dread the lunches that we have to survive on Woodside food. No longer are we intimidated or scared of coming to school, but we don't want to leave the school anymore, as we will also be leaving all the friends and memories that we all cherish. We look forward to seeing our friends at the lockers and the hall each day, rather than scared of walking into a classroom full of new faces. High school is a stage in life, in which everyone must go through. You can make it as enjoyable as you want to, or you can make it a horrible stretch of time in your life. While many of the friends that were made will never cross paths again in this journey called life again, they will be remembered for the fun times, memories and laughter that were shared. In the mean time, friends that have been friends at this stage of their life, that may cross paths again in the future, will always have this period of time in their life in which they will be able to refer to, reminising all the memories from this period of time. While those entering these 4 years as great friends, and leaving as great friends, will always be able to remember how much closer they became as a result of these 4 years.

While these few days maybe "good bye" to many, this will also be "see you later" to many. Regardless of which category anyone is under, these few words will be the same to everyone. "Best of luck, and never stop believe in yourself, your dreams, and your abilities"

This stage is not the end, but rather a beginning into the next stage in our lives, where everyone will go seperate ways, but chasing the same goal. To be the best they can be.
