Everything and Nothing, all at once

I said my goodbyes to friends I may never see again. Some of them were the best friends I had during my years I’ve been in high school so far, and not a single day of it would have been the same without them. Everyday, I would have them in one of my periods, and they would lighten my mood and make my day much better, whether it was through jokes, random silliness, or by invigorating intellectual discussion which degraded into a bunch of jokes. Some of them I even knew before high school, and to this day, I still value their friendship or the acquaintance I made with them. I grew apart from some of them, I will not lie, but I still gained a life time of memories from the few short years we had together.

Friends I have in the class of 2010, you picked me up when I was down, kept me afloat when I was flying high, and I will miss you all dearly. I hope you all enjoyed my friendship or acquaintance as much as I enjoyed yours. I love y’all.

I will now give shout outs to those seniors who I will always remember:

Quinton Sartor and John Hanna: Joking around with you guys in 10th grade during gym was always fun, and we had some really good laughs together. You guys were both awesome to know, and I will miss you both.

Jarrod Cole: Dude, you made the weirdest first impression on me (you know what you said XD), but you proved to be a great friend during my freshman year of high school. Sorry that it took so long to talk to you again, but we will rock this summer.

Cody Bunker: When I first met you, I didn’t know what to think. I assumed you would be one of those redneck types, but you turned out to be a very nice and funny guy. Just goes to show you that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. You are an awesome friend, and I will always remember you as such.

Daniel Lopez: The first time I met you, I could have sworn you were on something. At first, like Cody, you were very intimidating, but you turned out to be a nice and funny guy just like him. A gentle giant, perhaps. Despite that, you ended up being a great friend, and you still make me laugh to this day. I’ll never forget you, dude.

Cody and Daniel: You both made C lunch the highlight of my day in 10th grade, you both always kept me laughing and having a good time. I will miss both of you so much! And whatever you do, promise me that you will both come back. You’ve both given me a lifetime full of memories, and I will always keep them close to me.

Ashley Ramirez: You turned out to be a really nice person, and yes, Spaniards are a subset of the Caucasian ethnic group. Lol, despite that though, you turned out to be really nice and I was glad to have made your acquaintance. I’ll miss you!

Michael McRay: I still remember the first day I met you in physics. You and Rafael just ended up at a lab table with me on the first day of school, and we immediately started cracking jokes. It didn’t take long for us to become friends, but you were definitely the best friend I had this year. I loved our intellectual discussions in the beginning of the year, and the jokes we would always crack about politics or things going on in the classroom. You always made an effort to lift me up when I was down, and I will always remember you for that. I’ll definitely miss you, dude!

Alex Sabadosa: I remember the first time I met you was during the beginning of the year, when I got into an argument with Michael over the Quran. In his defense, it was an argument where I was totally and utterly wrong. Anyways, I remember that we didn’t really start talking until I moved to y’all’s side of the room sometime in October. From that point on, you, Michael, and I always had something to talk about and keep me distracted from my work. Our interesting political conversations with Michael which always diverged into random jokes were the highlight of my day this year. I’ll really miss you, you were one of my best friends this year, as well.

Michael and Alex: Thank you both so much for being such great friends this year. Our funny political conversations that turned into random jokes in Spanish III always kept me entertained, and they easily made my day, everyday. Thank you both for always trying to keep me up when I was down, and thank you both for making Spanish my favorite class. School this year would not have been the same without you guys, and I hope that our paths cross again in the future!

Britney Hargraves: I remember back in 7th grade when I first met you in Theater Arts class. We always managed to have fun in that class, and we had quite a bit in common back then. I’ll always remember you, shorty! Sorry that I grew, lol. But remember, just like the song you used to sing in class, it’s alright to be itty bitty, lol. Sorry that we never kept in touch after you graduated from Junior High! Thank you for an awesome year back then and thank you for being an awesome friend during that time.

Evan Riley: I remember back in Spanish II that we had conversations that always kept me laughing. You really turned out to be a great friend that year, and made Hail to the Mountain King get stuck in my head almost every other day in Ms. Lambert’s class. Spanish II would have not been the same without you, and you easily made it my favorite class in 10th grade. Thank you for being such a great friend!

Kayla Gonzales: Sorry that things never worked out between us. I wish they did. Either way, I’ll miss you, too!

Good bye seniors, I’m proud of all of you, and I hope we all see each other again after you all go your separate ways.
