But seriously...Im gonna miss all the folks in high school. Every school I ever come from, I always miss it. But this is one of the ones I will always truly miss. To those at Menchville, I love you truly and will miss you with all my heart. I've made wonderful friends, especially those with whom Im walking the stage with on Saturday. To those who Im walking with, it will be the most proud...and the most painful thing in my life. I've grown up with the majority of you since elementary school, and it's been an honor to grow and experience life with all of you. Though we'll have our reunions and such, nothing will ever replace the feeling of being in school with you.

To those I've made friends with in high school...thank you. It's been a pleasure being with you in school, helping each other in times of trouble, and sharing the happiness when something amazing rolled our way. I look forward to seeing you in the future, and seeing where life has taken you and how much you, as individuals, have grown. I hope you share my feelings when I say that I hope you experience the simultaneous joy and sorrow as you yourselves walk across the stage with your dear friends and fellow classmates with whom you may have grown with, or have just gotten to know but share the same feelings as if they were with you your entire life.

To all, I bid you unending joy and successes. It will be fun when we all get together and see where we've come from, where we've gotten to, and who was there with us when we needed them the most.

I love you all.
