Well maybe that's a bit dramatic but honestly today is probably one of the biggest changes in most peoples lives (I know for me it is) and for some of us today was the last day we would ever see each other again except for possibly our high school reunion. As I walked up to the stage today to give a speech I couldn't help but stare at the faces that made my high school experience and think about how in only a few hours our time together would come to an end. In my speech, I talk about remembering the moments and the people who meant most to you and allowing those to remind you of your true value and as I followed my own advice and reviewed my past four years I was overwhelmed by the sense of home and peace. When I came to Righetti four years ago as a freshmen I knew absolutely no one and was convinced that I would never come to love the place and the experiences it would hold. I was convinced that it would never be my home. But four years later and a great group of friends later and I am so glad that I spent my four years with the Righetti Class of 2013. This group of people has given me the strength I needed to overcome my adversities and grow into the person I am today. This group has become my home and I'm proud to say I am a Righetti High School Warrior. I pray that everyone had a beautiful day and that every single one of you become the person you were destined to be. As for this blog, this is my last post and I will be beginning a new blog for my new adventures and experiences that await me in Hawaii and Washington, DC (I'll post a link to it in a comment soon). So until the new blog is up and unless you follow it, this will be my last goodbyes. So goodbye, farewell, and never forget that who you are can not be defined by paper and pencil.
Love Always,
Samantha Garrison
