Our senior year seems to have started a long time ago, with the Senior Boat Cruise and the Homecoming Dance. The first few months for many people consisted of taking part in college tours and narrowing down the list of schools to which to apply. Once that list was final, we all endured the cold, arduous months of the college application process – a process that, in a way, has made us stronger as it caused us to assess our talents, passions, and at times, made us second-guess ourselves based on the reality of these economic times.
Then, as we made it through mid-year tests and spent two weeks watching the Winter Olympics, we began the long wait. The excitement was building as winter turned to spring, and thoughts turned to what we would do after we graduate.
These last few weeks have certainly been busy ones. Whether it has consisted of exams, finishing up class projects, getting ready for prom, choosing a college or applying to summer jobs, we have all had a lot on our plates. Now as we head into finals week, yet another busy time, we should feel proud that we have accomplished so much over the course of this year. Soon, we can relax and enjoy our summer, which will no doubt be one of the best as we celebrate our accomplishments having finished a major milestone in our lives. Let’s give it a great finish!
