The full realization that I am graduating tomorrow just hit.
So, today I realized that I am no longer a student at Mira Loma High School. It is a weird feeling for me. There were many points at which I really didn't like Mira Loma, but over the past four years I have come to like it. Maybe its a case of stockholme syndrome, maybe not. I don't really know. I know that I am going to a school next year that I will LOVE. I am sure of this. But it never before dawned on me that I would also be leaving behind a very large portion of my life. Graduation is more then just certifing that I passed X number of classes in Y years, it means that I am no longer apart of Mira Loma, maybe that Mira Loma is no longer apart of me... I guess I actually have come to like Mira Loma High School, sure its a crappy school, but its my crappy school. I have also not only grown accustome to, but actually LIKE some of the people there. This year has beed a really good year for me, better then many of the privous ones (Sophomore...). I have enjoyed all my classes, even American Gov/Econ. I havn't had any teachers this year that i disliked, maybe I though they wern't good teachers, but I still liked them. I have come to realize alot of what I hated in privous years was actually myself. Not that I hated myself, but that I couldn't let myself like it. Mr. Hill is this way. I feel incredibly bad that I never really gave him a chance in my sophomore year.
I guess I really have matured over the time I have spent at ML. I wish I could go back to my freshman year and meet me as a 13 year old. That would be a trip. I was just looking at my middle school year book, and I don't see much diffrence in how I look at 13 and how I look today. Its actually kinda creepy how similar I am. Other people have deffinantly changed, Kat looks sooo diffrent now. So does Phi, he got a Chin and Jaw line since this picture was taken in the eighth grade.
Its hard for me to believe that it has really been four years at Mira Loma. This last year seems to have gone by sooooooooo quickly. As I said earlier, this was probably my best year at Mira Loma. I guess I am actually going to miss the place, as weird as that sounds. I am soo freaking scared right now of college, but I can see myself four (maybe five) years from now, night before graduation being like "I wish I could go back in time and meet my 17 year old self..." I guess I am just pathetic like that.
I want everyone from ML to know that I will miss all of you. It truly has been a wonderfully weird trip through highschool. I feel very fortunate that I went to a school that had such an amazing and deverse student body. The people that I have meet at Mira Loma have been some of THE smartest, most original people i have ever known. I just hope that in some way other think of me as someone who really changed their lifes, or at least influenced it. I feel that sooooo many people have really had an effect on my life that i just want to return the favior. 70 years from now when I don't even remember what highschool i went to I will still be a diffrent person (hopefully a better one) because of all of you mira loma people, and the combined atmospher of MLHS.
Thank You.
