“We were looking at everyone’s pictures, kind of laughing about how everyone has changed since the beginning of the year and how we’re about to be done with school. It’s crazy to see not only the physical changes, but how everyone has matured and how people aren’t into the things they used to be interested in and vice versa. It’s bittersweet leaving a school I’ve made many friends and memories with. Grant High School is definitely something I will never forget.”

“I was just thinking of how far we’ve come. All three of us are ready to graduate. It’s all surreal in a good way. My photo was pretty nice. I got Class Clown. I’ve made new friends, and I feel like I’m leaving high school with a strong backbone. I’m looking forward to the next adventure. I’ve grown as a person. I think everyone has.”

“What was going through my mind was the drastic changes I’ve seen from the front of the book to the back. Just looking at everyone and everything, I see the change, and I feel it in the inside. I just got here this year. I came from Florida. It was easy to connect with people, easy to get around. I never had a problem. I like Grant. It was the one school I didn’t want to skip. I like the people, the teachers, the way it functions, everything. Of course, I’m excited for starting a new beginning, a new journey.”
