To greater days ahead

My mind is usually filled with tons of topics that I'd love to blog about but as I write this, there isn't only one that I can put my mind on. The past year has been a roller coaster ride, consisting of ups and downs, turnarounds that you would never expect and that final stop that brings up a huge smile on your face knowing you've managed to go through it. Some despise their high school years and some say those years were the best they've ever had. Just recently, I finished my IGCSE examination and also graduated.
As I was constructing part of my class video that was played on the graduation night, I went through so many pictures and videos of me and my classmates. I had mixed feelings as I felt both sad and happy. All the priceless memories that I would never trade; the inside jokes and the teasing, the uncountable arguments that blew my mind off, the terribly hilarious falls and scares that we go through daily. To know that we may not easily have that quality time with each other often breaks my heart, but to know that all of us will go off into pursuing our own dreams and making them into reality, bringing us immense joy, makes my heart flutter with excitement and happiness. As each day passes, the reality that I would not be seeing and spending each day of my school life with all of my classmates as well as schoolmates, hits me. On my graduation night, gallons of tears were shed but none belonged to me. Do know that I truly do appreciate every one of you and everything that you've done. From helping me up when I fell to sitting me down and cracking my head in order to bring me back to who I truly am, and even constantly reminding me in ways I could never imagine, to stay humble even at times when I felt like I was on top of the world.
As all of us go on with our lives, be wise and choose the right path as we have been greatly blessed to have such opportunities within our grasp. Our parents have played such big parts in our education and life and so I urge that you never forget to thank them, thank them for loving and caring for you, for never giving up on you and for always being by your side even at times of disappointment. To all my friends that I've known despite being in my first few days of preschool up to the most recent days of secondary school, words cannot express how much every single one of you mean to me and so, thank you. I wish all of you the best and nothing less.
