Growing Up

"Class of 2019, we have worked hard for our entire school lives. We accomplished things and we failed at things. We created friendships and we destroyed them."

"People change people. That's the first lesson a certain teacher taught me. I been influenced by someone once. I was closer to going down the wrong path. My best friends brought me back and now I can take the place as valedictorian."

I take a look over at my best friends smiling faces and a smile graces my face.

"Life. It's a scary thing. We all are heading off into different directions, brought by a passion or responsibility. As we grow old, always listen to the right people even as life changes. My life and my best friends had changed the week before freshman year. This is our story."
