Beginning school could be compared to listening to a new song. We are skeptical in the beginning, we fall in love with it near the middle, and once we reach the end we don’t want it to be over. Once it’s over, it means we have reached the age that forces us out into the world.
Cliché as it may be, I am going to miss this place. I am going to miss its crowded halls, its small population, its family atmosphere. I will miss the days I spent dreaming my time away. I will miss the teachers who put all they had into teaching us. I’ll even miss cramming for exams at the last possible minute. I loved growing up here. I loved watching this place grow. There have been so many memories made here that I can’t take them all with me in one trip.
Aucilla has had no choice but to become a part of us- imbedded forever. I know it is a piece of me I won’t ever forget. It may not know, but Aucilla has become my source of friendship, entertainment, and love over the years. If I ever needed anything I know I could turn to any of the students or teachers I have encountered here for help, a laugh, or a prayer.
I have been with a particular group of students longer than should be allowed. It has been quite an experience. There were the good times, the boring times, the bad times, and there were the greatest times. But now that it’s all over, we have to move on. Some will keep in touch, some will attend school together. But for most of us, when we walk across that stage, it will be the last we ever see of each other. I wouldn’t replace not one second of the time we had together. It was truly a rare experience we had here. We were allowed to be a family, and a family is what we have become. Let’s not forget the great blessing we received from each other- I know I won’t.
I cannot even begin to say farewell. Adieu. Adios. Sayonara. Bye. But I suppose it is necessary. So I will say, see you later. May you walk in the Lord’s will.
