Class of 2016

   
     This school year is coming to a close with finals and graduation right around the corner, one can't help but to look back all at that has happened this year. To me school isn't just a brick building with classrooms and a cafeteria, it's a place that oozes knowledge and memories, the ones already made and the ones waiting to be. It was just yesterday, well seemingly so, that I arrived to a huge and intimidating structure called the MAIN CAMPUS. For two years you hear upperclassmen talk highly of their new and improve school. Finally, my day had arrived, I was now an upperclassmen at the main campus. No shuttle buses from campus to campus, no more missing pep rallies, and no more Harmon Campus, this was the big leagues now. It was time for the real AP classes instead of the Pre-AP ones, lunch was doubled for a total of an hour. With thirty-seven weeks down, three more to go, I can't wait for this chapter to end and a new one to begin. As this year did, I suspect next year to fly on by. This year alone we've spent over one thousand and five-hundred hours at school, it no wonder that huge and intimidating brick building becomes a warm and inviting sanctuary for the more than two thousand students and staff.
     Tom Bodett, an American actor and author, once said, "In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson." In the real world it not all about class ranks and GPA's anymore, it about the life lessens you learn. There's two types of education everyone needs, real world and academic. Seniors, go and get your second education.
