Times They Are a Changing.

Goodbye. Goodbye Luke, goodbye STACies, goodbye Herricks High School. I'll be seeing you. But less so. And our relationship will be quite different. I'm thinking so many different things, none of which I can easily express with words. Which is upsetting, because words are sort of my thing.

Gosh, I'm peace-ing out from this school district. I've been here since first grade. I'm so excited to go where I'm going... but I'm also losing something huge. I'm leaving behind my childhood, I'm leaving all the people I've spent my education with, I'm leaving. And to think, I've only just started to feel like I own this school. This year I've grown into the hallways. I've developed for the better this year more than I ever have before.

I've lived in this one town for as long as I can remember. 28 Campbell Avenue. I know the streets in my town, I've watched the people and I've grown up right here. Now a wind is blowing, and I'm getting carried away.
