I’m done with high school! But I’m not ready yet!

It seems like a matter of a few days ago that I first became a part of this extraordinary family, a scared and insecure fourth grader. At that time, this place was like an alien planet to me and befriending people was not at all my forte. I was extremely different from what I am now. 

This school has nurtured me and helped me grow into the person I am today and for that I am forever grateful. I am also pretty sure that all of us have learnt from our experiences here and become a better version of ourselves. 

Despite the fact that I have developed a lot as a person here, I know I have a long way to go but, somewhere I’m not truly able to come to terms with the fact that I have to leave behind this wonderful place filled to the brim with memories both good and bad. Soon, we all will bid farewell to each other and move on to different colleges and universities where we’ll meet new people and experience new things. But, school toh school hi rahe ta hain yaar. It literally can’t be forgotten. 

The memories, the idiotic things that we did will always be there with us and somewhere down the line after a decade or so, I hope that we all meet again and laugh about all the times we had together.

The thought of leaving these walls I have been surrounded by for most of my life literally petrifies me, but I know that the journey is not over yet. I sincerely thank all my teachers from the bottom of my heart for supporting me, pushing me and giving me the belief that I can do anything that I set my mind to. 

I literally cannot express my gratitude in words. Believe me, never in my wildest dreams had I thought that I would be able to interact with people effortlessly, let alone becoming the head girl. But our teachers had faith in me and encouraged me. Thank you soooo much once again. 

You all have a very high amount of patience to deal with us kids and put up with our nonsense. You are like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, very valuable. You help us uncover our potential and play a major role in our futures as well. 

To my friends, I would like to tell you guys that I had crazy times with you all and I will certainly cherish those memories till the end. You are all very special to me even if I don’t say it. 

I could go on and on about how grateful I am to each and every one of you but it will take an eternity (as I have like an account of about 10 years to fulfill) so I have to cut myself short. I hope that I can give back to this school as much as it has given me. 

Thank you so much for hearing me out! Best of luck to all of us for the ups and downs that are yet to come in our lives!
