Graduation is only a week away! It is weird to think it is all over. I've been waiting for this for a while now. It seems like just yesterday I was a shy little freshmen lookingup to the seniors on my baseball team, and now the tides have turned and I'm in their footsteps. I look back and can't help but wonder what could have been different, better or worse. It is interesting to look back and see how much I have grown over the years, and how different I have become. As much as I didnt think it would, high school helped prepare me for the future. I am excited for the future, as I can't wait to move out of Rancho to Santa Barbara. Not that Rancho is a bad place, but I am ready to move on. College is a new beginning. New people, new lifestyle, new location. This brings to mind the theme of English class-To live a life worth living. This is the beginning of our own lives, and how do we live it? It all makes sense to me now, why Mrs. Elliott chose to teach from that perspective since we are confronted with the future now. It will be interesting to see where all of our classmates end up and how they do. Wish you all the best for the future!

Yeah, Mrs. Elliot's theme made the class one of the most unique courses I've ever taken. Not only did my writing skills sort of develop, but I also learned a lot of interesting and useful things in there. College is definitely a whole new world for us, but I think we've been prepared enough by everyone around us here in high school for whatever comes at us.

I agree with both of you. This english class has been totally unique from anything I have ever taken before. But on the college topic, I think it is so crazy how fast high school really did go by. I remember first coming here and thinking I was about to waste four longggg years of my life at Osos. And the tone of all the things in my yearbook have gone from "Oh my gosh, we'll be seniors next year!" to "Wow, I'm gonna miss you when you are two thousand miles away." It's just so crazy. I'm excited, but sad at the same time.
