I want to thank Woodlawn for showing me how to find something to be proud of in school. All of the relationships and memories I’ve made here showed me that you can always find something to love or be passionate about in everything you do, and I can’t thank Woodlawn enough for giving me that.

My dream for Woodlawn is that it will continue to grow and reach new people. I think that everyone deserves to have a high school experience like Woodlawn, and it is my dream that that happens.

I’ll remember all of the relationships I was able to form with both teachers and students. I think that having those kinds of bonds is a very unique thing.

My favorite memory from Senior year was making a little skit for common hour with my friends called The Stained Backpack and singing the chorus of Living on a Prayer with Caleb and the Stained Backpacks.

I’ll miss my friends here the most. The friends I’ve made here are closer than I’ve had anywhere else, and it’ll be a challenge replicating that somewhere else.

I’m looking forward to independence and to being able to find and do the things that I love. I think that Woodlawn has prepared me very well for both of those things.
