A quote that is very meaningful to me. It was a quote that represented me and 8 of my best friends as we left our small town of 200 and some odd people to start a new chapter of our lives. It was our graduation 2007 quote. For 13 years of my life i was with the same 6 people, not many people are able to say that. In a town that has as few people as mine did i learnt how to deal with being around the same people all the time. We seen each other through the good times and the many bad times, we had to stick by each other at some points in our 13 yrs together we didn't think we would be able to see and talk to each other ever again, that always lasted all of about 12 hours. Between seeing each other at school 5 days a week, partying together on weekends, study groups before those awful math tests and lets not forget the dating relationships in there, we became closer than i have seen anyone else. We had our years when not everyone got along, but it was our grade 12 year that we all became best friends, along with the addition of 2 exchange students (the best we ever had). There was so many amazing memories in those last 10 months we were together. It saddened us all on our grad night when we realized we would never be together again and we would never find friends like that. We went out one last time as a class and had one of the greatest nights of our lives. Nothing and no one will ever replace the people and memories we had together, but what it did do was change the people were and made us into the people we are today. Adults. That's a scary thought but its true. I may not be perfect but being with those people for 13 yrs helped me become the best person i could possibly be...for now! There are still many things that have happened and will happen and are happening right now that are changing me in many ways. But i will always remember and will look back on those years of school and i know that it will always guide me the right way to make the best decision possible. This is just the begging of many things that i have weighing down on me that i need to release, but i thought it would be a good idea to start on a good note and let people see how much friends can help alter the person you are into the person u want to be. If there was one thing i could say to my former classmates it would be: Thank you for the amazing years, the good times and even the bad. You have helped me so much and you mean the world to me. I love you all, miss you all, and think of you everyday.
I would like to end this with the lyrics from the song that my class walked out to at our graduation:
Miss You- Social Code
I'm out here on my own
Feeling lost and all alone
I'm mad that you were gone
All my friends are moving on
[Chorus]
I'll miss you forever
I'll miss you always
Good bye is so hard
But I'll say it anyway
The silence after
this disaster
Can't keep my laughter from healing all my pain
This story's getting old
This dusty picture's growing mould
I feel trapped inside this place
If only one last time Just you and I
Could stand here face to face
[Chorus]
I'll miss you forever
I'll miss you always
Good bye is so hard
But I'll say it anyway
The silence after this disaster
Can't keep my laughter from healing all my pain
Time stands still
Every time
You come to mind
Just like
It did that day
when you chose to walk away
[Chorus]
I'll miss you forever
I'll miss you always
Good bye is so hard
But I'll say it anyway
I'll miss you forever
I'll miss you always
Good bye is so hard
But I'll say it anyway
I'll say it anyway
I'll say it anyway
I'll say it anyway
I'll miss you always
