As seniors roam these halls for their last three weeks of high school. They will try to cherish all their last minute memories senior Kali Bundas said. They have enjoyed their four years of high school said senior Sean Roland. Only three weeks left untill graduation. If you have something to say you better say it right now because we don’t have much time Kali said. Will the seniors survive out in the real world? Everyone plans to go their separate ways to start a new life. They will make new friends, study hard, and prepare to shape and create their futures.
“High school taught me a lot about myself, some things good others not so good,” Sean said. “I have learned more about myself in these past four years than I have all the fourteen years before it.”
From football games, homecomings, dances, and HOG weeks, senior Ashley Castillo feels she had the time of her life and enjoyed high school more than other people. Her favorite memories involved student council and HOG weeks.
“My high school experience was more than I could ask for,” Ashley said. “Of course I am going to miss Ms. Mills, shes like my second mom besides my own. I’ve spent most of the past years with her.”
Sean felt that high school has helped him grow. Kali feels the same as other students feel; they appreciate all the help from the teachers, family and friends.
“The friends you make here will last you a lifetime and so will the memories,” Sean said. “I am going to miss all the friends I have made here and the memories we have made together.”
Sean will attend The University of Texas Arlington in the fall and plans to study physical therapy and hopefully pursue a career in the field. Ashley plans to move down to College Station in her new apartment.
“All my hard work has finally paid off,” senior Dianna Nguyen said. “I am nervous about writing and saying my speech in front off my whole class because I was named valedictorian.”
Senior Josef Sells said that students spend their time in the classes that they love the most. Students spend their time talking to teachers about college and their futures. Josef believes the teachers have had a huge impact on the students and they helped them prepare for the future.
“I love spending time with Ms. Williams and she is just like me; smart, witty and fun to be around,” senior Shannon Henderson said. “I had her as a teacher my sophomore year and after the first week she became my favorite teacher, we talk about college and how art has influenced me to pursue a career in it.”
Kali says student should have planned on what to do with their lives. Dianna plans on going straight to a university and getting her degree as a neurologist, but for Shannon leaving home right after graduation will not seem easy.
“I’m very nervous about attending a university, I will be far away from my parents and that scares me,” Shannon said. “But I’m excited because I get to experience the college dream, and have plenty of mistakes and learn from those mistakes and make new friends. I will miss all of my friends here, but its time for me to fly and say good bye to Timberview High School and start a new life.”
