Final Goodbye 

Saying goodbye has always been hard, especially when leaving a place where you have lived the happiest, saddest, and emotional moments of your life. This year, my senior year, was a big goodbye, and even though it started with a lot of nostalgia, I realized that a part of life is to follow the path laid ahead of you, to grow as a person, and to construct the future you want for yourself. I can happily say that my last year was one of the happiest ones at school, I enjoyed every moment and even achieved some of the wishes I had when I was young; I laughed, cried and even got frustrated but, I know now it was all worth it, because even though this chapter of my life is over it will always stay in my heart, remembering me where I come from and what I intend to do in my life; it will keep me centered and focused on every challenge I hope to conquer in life. 

 

The clock is ticking, and my time to say goodbye is close. Even though I am sad, I am proud of my school and the woman I became because of it. Deep down, I know this isn’t a goodbye, because the light of the Zarza, all the teachings, and memories will always stay with me. My path ahead might scare me, but I know one thing for sure: the path I have already walked has prepared me for what is yet to come. Finally, I would like to thank life for allowing me to live my last year as I did; I wouldn’t have wanted to do so in any other way.
