5/28/11 I am currently in my last block, Seminar. Today is the last day for the seniors. It leads to the beginning of summer. Soon, it shall be the end of my freshman year and sophomore year awaits. Band camp beckons me, alluring me with promise of a joyful time. The end of one story begins another. Like the seniors being called down for their last day to end. Then the story of their life out of high school will start. Soon it will be me and my fellow freshmen walking sadly around the building we spent the last four years in. But the seniors will have a future to look forward to, a smile placed lightly upon their faces. Even if the smile shall waver and tears be shed, this day will be a great one. A day to be remembered for years to come: as the beginning of my end will rest in memory with great pride. Good times being discussed and mistakes regretted. Although the empty seats will be filled as new students, fresh from summer, come and make memories. And soon the seniors will walk across the stage clothed in cap and gown. Smiles and tears shared as the families and friends applaud wishing happy futures to all; small waves, then gone. )͡
