Four Years of Growth, A Lifetime Found
As newcomers, we arrived, shy and uncertain,
Wandering through the corridors, looking for a remedy.
To the intense sensation of being a newcomer,
Seeking our spot, uncertain about what actions to take.
We carried our backpacks high, expressions marked by fear,
Unsure of where to place oneself, whom to be close to.
However, over time, we started to expand,
From first-year students to final-year students, creating a sense of continuity.
We discovered our companions, our clan, our team,
Forming memories that will endure for us.
The peaks and valleys of high school experience,
Assisting one another in times of happiness and hardship.
We discovered how to be self-reliant, to hold our heads high,
To pursue our ambitions, to respond to the call
As adulthood approaches in the distance,
Prepared to soar together and take flight.
From anxious first-year students to assured graduating seniors,
We flourished and expanded, letting go of our apprehensions.
And welcoming the obstacles that confronted us,
Prepared to overcome anything that lies ahead.
Now, as we find ourselves at the edge of the conclusion,
We reflect on our path, our hearts healing anew.
We depart from the corridors, the lockers, the textbooks,
But bring along the memories, the friendships that formed
From freshman to senior, a journey deeply significant,
Where we uncovered our true selves, where we realized
Our position in the universe, our aim defined,
Prepared to confront whatever may arise.
So here's to maturing, to final year,
To the insights gained, to the joy and sorrow.
We will always cherish these memories.
As we progress in our journey, undeterred by fear.
