My mother always says, "there is one person who will drastically change your life; you just have to wait for them". I disagree with this statement. I believe everyone we interact with has an impact on us, and that impact has the potential to change our lives. Whether it is positive (such as a teacher rewarding a student for exceptional work), or negative (being betrayed by a close friend), we learn from each experience and these experiences make us who we are. Life is constantly throwing new experiences at us, and regardless of whether they are good or bad, we all keep moving forward. As students, we share experiences and we are fortunate that as peers, we are going through things together! The challenges presented by arguments, tests, grades, the seemingly impossible math cles, it is our friendships and the support of one other that get us through it. I am so fortunate to have had such an amazing experience that has made many fond memories I will carry with me forever...which is precisely why it will be so difficult to say goodbye!
