Hard to Say

[iamchlorine]

High school was definitely a learning experience. No matter how many classes you went to (or classes you didn't), essays you wrote (or essays you "wrote"), homework assignments you did (or homework your friends did for you), novels you read (or sparks notes you read), there's no way anyone could possibly graduate not having learned a single thing. Because high school is more than just notes and projects and tests and homework and math problems you just can’t figure out the solution to. The teachers aren’t always the ones standing at the front of the class and marking your papers. They’re sitting at the desk next to you, and beside you in the cafeteria, and using the locker next to yours, and staying up with you until 5 AM proof reading your CPT that you know you shouldn’t have left to the last minute but you did anyway because that new video game/movie/episode/book came out and you just had to play/buy/watch/read it. Years from now, I may not remember how to solve a quadratic equation or how to write a proper thesis or be able to recite Hamlet’s “to be or not to be” speech, but I will definitely remember the people I met and all of the things they taught me about the world and about myself.

Thanks guys. I love you, I love you, I love you.
