A year that most of us will never, ever forget. After we graduate, we will all go our different ways. We will face many challenges throughout the journey, but we will pass the challenges. This school and the faculty have had a huge influence on every student. We should feel proud to be in such a nice school and have such respected teachers. I look at the students of the graduating class and I see that each has the potential to do something great. In the end, it will come down to who wants to achieve their goals the most. Really, if you want something bad enough and are willing to work hard enough, you ’ll get it. I would like to say a sincere thank you to all the faculty members and staff that have worked with the students. If it weren ’t for them, we wouldn ’t have been able to do all we have done. To the graduating class of2002, I would also like to say thank you. In closing, remember “You have one life to live, so live it to the fullest”! Good Luck to everyone!
