The Lincoln Log

It’s our senior year and we are almost at the end of the road of our high school careers, this month we are awaiting for the letters that will determine our futures. Next year we might never see each other. What the future holds for us is very uncertain. Where will we be in the next 10 years? What will our favorite teachers be doing then? Are we still going to be best friends with each other? Because the future so unsure, we should seize the moments we have now. We might never get to experience something like this ever again.

To the lower classmen, you still have years ahead of you in high school. However it doesn’t mean that you should take it for granted. Cherish your hardworking teachers and loyal friends because you may never find people like them to inspire you anymore. Stop complaining about high school and about how much you are counting down the days until you will be entering college. You only have one chance to fully experience high school, make the best out of all of it. Go try out for the sport you wanted, join that club or academy, and express yourself because in real life you don’t have that opportunity.

Imagine you are walking down those familiar hallways and the recognizable faces walk past you. Fast-forward to senior graduation, during all those tearful good byes you finally notice that there are other people that you have never met is in your class. You will never know if that person is nice, smart, friendly, or inspirational.

During our last three and half months that we seniors are here, I hope that we all cherish those last and final moments we have with each other. I hope that at our 10-year reunion we can all reminisce with each other and never regret anything. For the underclassmen, don’t take anything for granted.
