Thoughts pass through my mind as I reflect on my school days
Sealed within four walls of a standing building that if human, would be my great grandfather is memories that I made of my five short years at my high school. Here I experienced many first's including getting friends that I can solely depend on, My inner true personality, my first boyfriend, my first kiss, going on stage to perform for a crowd, joining school clubs, being an active participator in extra curricular activities and so much more. The first time I step feet I was wondering how long I would have to keep up with this school but now as I stand, I couldn't help but try to remember how my stay was so short and how I'm dying to restart my beautiful fun-filled journey. Thoughts such as "what's next?", "what will become of my friends?", "will we see each other and perhaps recognize each other?" was drowning in my uneasy mind. The only thought that comforted me is that I made memories, good and bad and I can NEVER go back no matter how much I would like to, the only that's left to do is hold my head up high, chest out and proceed to my other milestone, where, who knows, I'd make more and longer lasting memories.
