Dear Class of 2019,

The past four years have been indescribably life changing. No piece of paper could ever hold the weight of all the memories and experiences that this school has graced us with. As members of the newspaper staff, athletes, club and honor society members, we have learned what it truly means to be an active member of a community.

As a senior class, we have accomplished so much in four years. From athletes to mathletes, we have all taken great strides to commit to colleges or pursue our own path to success. Together, we have followed our dreams, inspired others, and achieved goals we never would have thought possible.

It’s important to think before you act. We have also learned many other lessons, such as the importance of staying committed in all aspects of your life and staying determined through everything you do—start to finish. In other words, don’t prepare yourself for a race then not run.

Overcoming obstacles as a graduating class has given us insight about how to give advice to younger generations. We have learned that you can go through a lot in four years. Life is a playground full of not only joy but also pain, and your perspective is everything. You have to take the good with the bad and learn how to learn, not only from your mistakes, but also from your achievements.

As the graduating class of 2015, we want to tell the upcoming class to never give up. You create your own reality and no matter what hardship you may encounter, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Find positivity in both trials and success, live life to the absolute fullest and remember that nothing succeeds like success.

Sincerely,

Senior Editors, Class of 2015
