Someone.

I couldn't have ended my high school music life any better.
Tonight was just freaking amazing.
I can't believe how far we've come. It's scary to think that 6 years ago, i picked up a flute for the first time.
But it's even scarier to think that in a few years, i'll lose contact with all of these wonderful musicians that have become an irreplaceable part of my life.

They say that high school is the golden years.
In some ways it is, in some it isn't.
My high school life could've been better,
there were lots of tears, goodbyes, pain, and sadness
but
there were also lots of laughs, loves, and smiles.

And i guess in the end,
i wouldn't change it for the world.




I'm so proud of myself.
For the first time in my life,
i'm proud of myself.
and i'm happy.
Genuinely happy.
When i was walking across that stage tonight...
i couldn't stop smiling.



I felt like i accomplished something.



I'm so proud of myself.


P.A.L.S President Award.
Wow. Haha.
'Most promising student'
I'm...
honestly really proud of myself.
I can finally say that i've accomplished something in my life.
I've left my mark.
When i left londonderry,
I left behind my name on two trophies.
Female Athlete of the Year (Gr. 8) and Music Student of the Year (Gr. 8 as well).
Now, as i leave M.E LaZerte,
i leave behind my name on one trophy:
The PALS President Award (Gr. 12)

I can only hope
that when i graduate University,
i will leave behind a mark there as well.
As proof of what i have accomplished,
as proof of my dedication,
my aspirtations,
my dreams,
my goals,
my life.


I will leave behind a mark.
Then,
instead of just being another nobody.
I can say:
Look. I was here. I am SOMEONE.

Because...
in the end,
that's all we want isn't it?


To be someone in this world.
To be someone to someone else, to be someone who is remembered.
To be forgotten is the worst fate a person can suffer.
To die alone, with no one to care.


I refuse to follow that cursed fate.
I will be someone.



Just you wait.
