am i the only one...
am i the only 06 grad that is a little bit sad that high school is starting without us? i know that we're all happy to graduate, get out, move on, etc... but does anyone else miss it? i was driving home from work this morning and saw the "welcome back students" written on the sign out in front of the school and got a little bit sad. for the first time in 4 years that sign didnt mean a damn thing to me. obviously the sign isnt like what makes me sad.. just that mitchell goes on without us. just like class of 02, 03, and 04 were quickly forgotten, class of 06 will too be forgotten. mitchell will always mean something to us whether we admit it or not, but in the long run we mean little to mitchell. its kinda sad... mitchell was basically our lives fo 4 years (again, whether we'll admit to it or not) and now its over. while i was there i wanted nothing more than for high school to end and to just get out of the shallow, meaningless gossip that was mitchell. but now i really do miss it. my friends in class of 05 always told me that once youre out, you start to miss it and i never believed them til now. ill miss the hoo-haw tuesdays with mr stratman and ill miss ms lawlor and mrs whitehead. i really wish mrs whitehead woulda stayed at mitchell cause i loved that woman -- she was an incredible teacher and i really wanted to keep in touch with her. im sad to leave but happy to move on... as the corny nickelback song says "so hard to stay, so hard to leave it". its weird because high school was such a shitty place for me for a long time but i really will miss the crazy teachers and making fun of the gangster kids and the freshman. i guess what makes me the saddest is that i realized that mitchell will go on without us... there will be a class of 2014 and 2027 and 2049... and class of 2006 will mean nothing to them. the teachers will have forgotten about us and the students will have never known of us... we were just a graduating class back when the school was new.
