I think Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” put it best (and rather fittingly);
“And now, the end is near, and so I face, the final curtain…
My friends, I’ll say it clear, I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain…I’ve lived a life that’s full, I’ve travelled each and every highway,
But more, much more than this, I did it my way…”
It might not be the end of their lives, but it is sure the end of a defining chapter of them.
As you all know, the Class of ‘07 graduates on Thursday (Except the girls, who graduate tomorrow); which marks the end of a long run for them. It’s been a nostalgic week, with many of us not really sure what the future holds, and reminiscing the good times we’ve had together.
Over the last year I’ve grown to know them really well, and it’s going to be a real shock to see them leave;
I wish you all well in your upcoming exams, and then onwards into your futures - whatever they may be, but most of all, rest assured,
Guys, you will be sorely missed.
I know I keep hearing it, and I know it’s hit home a couple of times in the last couple of weeks, but it’s still sorta hard to believe I’m at the end…
Every time I’m told I’m going to be missed though, I’m both exceptionally happy and exceptionally sad at the same time… Sad that I’m leaving people behind to continue their own path, happy that there is another person that will remember me along that path that they choose to follow.
They said it, I ignored it, I regret it, I’m repeating it to you: You are SO close to the end…
It has dawned on me particualarly in the past few weeks how close we are. It seems just yesterday I was in year 7 watching the Superbowl in class and playing soccer in the drama rooms. It’s sad to think I’m closer to the end than I am to that memory.
I hear it too, and I hope that I manage to make the most of the time I’ve got left.
Thanks again for a fantastic year..
