senior thoughts (by SarahBeth)

What is life but a blur, or a moment that passes away and is gone? Many people end up wishing their whole lives away, and only as their life is about to end do they realize that they should have made the most of each day as it came along instead of anticipating events yet to come or pondering over things that have already been done. We can only hope that we will learn this lesson before it is too late.

This year we are seniors, and it seems as if we have been waiting for this year our entire lives! Yet many of us are already counting down the days until graduation, and it seems as if it could not come soon enough. However, we must take the time to sit back and enjoy our senior year and truly savor these last moments of high school, because in the blink of an eye it will all be over and we will be on our way to various colleges, and even if we keep in touch, we will never all be together again as the Class of 2010.

This is the only shot we have at life; the last try we get at high school; our only chance to make a difference. I know this speech is typically made at graduation, but I think it is better heard now so it can be put into practice. So, as a fellow senior, here are my words of wisdom to you: Live life to the fullest, cherish every moment, and don’t be afraid to try something new. Most importantly of all, don’t come to recognize too late that you have wished away some of the best moments of your life.
