When I was a Freshman,

I was sitting at lunch,

looking around the room and I realized I was in a new chapter of my life.

I was filled with a lot of feelings; curiosity, fear, and anxiety.

Today, I walk into the commons,

and I smile inwardly when I think of how different I feel now.

The people I once considered strangers have all become like siblings to me.

I makes me sad to think that one day

I’ll stand in a line

as the people who I’ve watched grow up for the past four years receive their diplomas.

These days have been too few and far too short for me,

but I know I must move on.

That day will be hard, but at least I can say I’d relive every day of those four years with no regrets.

I’d still hate the tests and the bad grades that sometimes followed.

I’d groan everyday at my alarm clock, or when I had to shiver in the gym at chapel.

Still, I wish I could hit rewind,

to walk in through those four doors for the first time,

one last time.

All because I know

that I would love the beginning

of this beautiful chapter of life that LHS has given to me.
