I am losing the opportunity to see my friends everyday. Those amazing friends that I have had and have made this year. I'll miss them with all my heart and you bet that I'll be harassing them all summer to hang out. I am losing the interaction with the amazing teachers at Herriman. The teachers that pushed me to the top of my ability (cough MRS. HILL cough), who showed me that yes, I COULD do math, who showed me that my writing didn't sound like some teenage drama. I am losing the chance to go to school with my sister. The next time we will could possibly go to school together will be in 5 years.
But I also knew what I was about to gain.
An experience that will change my life, that already has changed my life. The chance to push myself into areas of learning that I have been craving since middle school. A CHALLENGE for the first time in my educational history. I will be with people who want to learn, who crave learning the way I do. Plus I'll be going to the college that I have been dreaming of since elementary school.
So walking out of Herriman came with a mixture of bittersweet feelings.
But you bet that I'm still a Mustang.
I'll be at every football game, every basketball game, every school dance (someone better ask me to prom.) All I'll be talking about at college is how great high school was. I may never walk the halls of Herriman as a student again, but I will still be a Mustang. Just farther away. So farewell Herriman, you've taught me much, and gave me even more.
