As I’m writing this, there’s less than a week left of school for me and it’s pretty surreal. As cliche as it sounds, it really does feel like the end of an era. And within that 4-year chunk of time, each year has felt so different and unique from the last. A significant moment from...

When I was little I always said I wanted to be a veterinarian. Even as a kid, I desired a set path, with set goals, and for there to be an organization in how things played out. I’ve learned that the career we ironically claim in fourth grade in the “what do you want to...

Time is precious. This is something that I and I think every other member of the senior class came to realize first hand this past year. One minute we’re sitting in school anxiously awaiting prom and junior takeover and the next we’re questioning if we’d even be able to have a graduation. As m...

High School is a very interesting time in our lives. I like to think about it like a one-way flight to an unknown location. You don’t really know where you’re going or how you’re gonna get home but all that matters is making the most of it. Throughout my four years on this one-way flight...

I have been having a hard time writing this because I have so much to say. I cannot encompass all of highschool into this testimonial. I cannot detail every event that has made me who I am today. I wish I could describe the intricate feeling I felt when winning a field hockey game or...

When I started Journalism I my sophomore year, I never thought I’d be sitting here my senior year, Co-Editor in Chief of The Lobby Observer, writing a Senior Testimonial. I like to tell everyone that my parents forced me to take journalism, which is true. I started my journalism career reluctantly...

Time is funny, most people perceive time in a linear function, but I perceive time as a 2-dimensional plane. Think of time as a piece of paper, one pencil mark in the upper left corner, is as arbitrary as a pencil mark in the bottom right corner. The dots are not aware that the other...
