“If there was some amazing force outside of time to take us back to where we were I would hang each moment up like pictures on the wall so that we can see it all”

-Time Adventure by Rebecca Sugar

I’ve only been at Giles for two years and it feels like I’m graduating with mostly strangers. I have been lucky enough to meet some good friends since being here like Makayla Burton and even rekindle a friendship with Grace Buckner. I am very thankful for the two of them. They've made my experiences here a hundred times better.

Makayla and I normally talk about anime and she is an amazing artist who draws a bunch of anime. One of my biggest heroes in anime is Present Mic because he is loud and out there like me. Whenever I feel anxious or overwhelmed, I like to think of him because he helps me feel better.

After high school, I’m planning on going into the Army. While I’m serving or after I serve, I want to study education so I can become a history teacher. After graduation, my hope for my classmates is that they achieve everything that they want and live prosperous lives. I also want to thank all of my teachers and mentors that have helped me over the years.
