before, and after school. Talk during lunch. And after lunch. 4 years later, I am now the senior in high school for now. Senior year is once a Miracle, but you finishing with all your class. You will miss some friends that you care about. Some people you will see in near future. I have 3 favorite high school moments. A young lady named Brenna Graves asked me to be her valentine. Because I gave her a huge teddy bear and skittles for her birthday. My 2nd best moment of high school was running for homecoming king not once but twice. Because the first run I wasn’t serious, but I ran again and it was more of a challenge than ever. I tried to defeat Ty bird, but realized that he won the race with his homecoming queen Ashlynn Garcia. I was happy for him and for a good race.
My last moment of high school was when I took their mask off in dark.in the south gym. It was the best moment I ever dream of because, I was proud to take off the masks. I did SCH with them. It was dope. I love doing the secret comb handshake. In the near future, I will become a pastor by going a Christian college in grand Junction, Co I will live by myself and then with my future wife as a married man with kids. I will go to instep to learn with money by skills. Fix this a bit confusing. To my girls in future keep the legacy going when I am gone. I want to pass on what have learned from secret comb handshake. I got along with everyone. Because, they know I was a new student at FMHS. It represent to everyone I care the most. Good luck next year without me.

What I learned A
ll our lives we’ve been told that we should be grateful for our education. We’ve been told that we shouldn’t complain about school because a lot of people don’t have the opportunity to go to school even though they want to. When little 10year-old me heard that I didn’t understand why anyone would hate school. My whole perspective changed when I got into my freshman year. I dreaded waking up every morning and having to go to a virtually windowless prison where we were taught that

The best part about high school is I learned to be myself. I learned to do what I like and let whatever happens happen. I may not remember a lot from my classes, but I do remember the lessons I have learned and the friends I’ve made. I’m grateful for the chances I’ve had and the close friends that I have made. I’m excited to start a new chapter of my life with them.
