Well, this is it I guess... Tomorrow is my last exam (Math) and I'm totally not looking forward to it. I can't believe that 13 years have passed already.
It feels like yesterday that I was a little 5-year old in Ms. Peterson's class, learning to read. I thought reading was so hard. But trial after trial in my life, I managed to conquer them all.
It feels like yesterday that I was in second grade and I had to sit outside during recess on the sidewalk and finish the classwork I couldn't finish in class, and the only one that would help me was Ronnie. I still remember how he sat with me and helped me while everyone else played.
It feels like yesterday that I was in sixth grade and how I struggled so much. I thought math was so hard and there was nothing that was harder. But I learned that being alone is harder than anything else.
It feels like yesterday that I was a little 7th grader getting lost on the first day of school. I went to all the wrong classes and Pre-Algebra was a struggle. I also remember how emotionally hard it was for me to fit in and make friends.
It feels like yesterday when I was only in 8th grade and I had my first boyfriend. Algebra 1 was a breeze and the best teacher in the school was of course, Mrs. Breault. I can honestly say that was a great year.
It feels like yesterday when I was a freshman in high school. The upperclassmen were scary and I was only a little pipsqueak. But I learned about love and went a little crazy... Well maybe very crazy. It was a rough year, probably one of the roughest ones I've ever had.
It feels like yesterday when I was a sophomore and I gave my life to the Lord. Ray Sanchez and many other friends walked into my life and changed everything. I can't believe how much I've changed and grown.
It feels like yesterday when I was a junior looking forward to my senior year. It was another tough year and trigonometry was harder than I thought. But I kept my eyes on Christ and I made it through and with one lap left to finish the race.
It feels like yesterday that I became that senior I was always looking forward to becoming. I remember sitting in the auditorium and listening to the rules of senior camp. I still remember the fight I had with Danny and the news I heard of Ronnie's acceptance to Harvard. I'm proud of him. I remember at the beginning of the year, being anxious to graduate, now here I stand before everyone else and I suddenly don't want to go. But God has brought me through everything and He's helped me finish the long race. I can't help but to hold on to the memories that I've established, especially this year. But God wants me to move forward. I hope to keep in touch with everyone and I most certainly will do my best to do so. I won't forget all that you guys have taught me. I'm going to miss you all. This year was the best year ever and I couldn't have asked God for a better one or better friends. I love you all and I hope you all know this.
Love,
Veronica
