The Eagle Times

As May draws near, many seniors are anxiously awaiting graduation, the day we, as a senior class, can walk down the aisle in our caps and gowns. The arrival of acceptance letters from the college of our choice is also a perk after tedious semesters of studying and testing. Although a difficult and time consuming task, the results, for the most part, will not be disappointing.

Senior Lindsey Breaux, shared, “I am excited for college life and ready to move away from home so I can feel more independent. Although I will miss my mom’s home cooking, I will be with new people and doing exciting things; therefore, not being homesick. Being a college student makes you a busy person giving you opportunities to meet new people and venture to new places. Even though I’ll only be an hour away, going to college gives me a new sense of freedom, something I’ve been long awaiting.”

As we all so gladly rejoice throughout the halls during school hours, the “big day” is almost here. So, as we count down the days until graduation, let us remember the good times, the bad times, the tears, and the sweat we shared together, and may we let no one at St. John ever forget the legendary senior class of 2008. Although we may be gone, our memory will not be forgotten. Congratulations to you all!

Life after high school may be tough, but it is up to us to succeed. Always look forward, never back for your future is in your own hands. No one can choose your destiny except you. Good luck!
