life, we will remember these years. We will remember our friends, the laughter, and the pain. Our smiles reflect the memories locked deep within our hearts. Future dreams shine like bright stars against distant nights.We have grown so much, and yet, we will grow forever.”
Letter from our Class President To my fellow seniors, Living is about the people and the memories. The people that we meet that help us achieve our dreams or even shape our dreams into a different reality. The memories we make with those people shape us. Whether it was good or bad, we were molded by each other. Mold has really defined our class. We’ve molded each other, our school had mold, and as the renovations were made, our school has even molded around us.
I can hardly remember what our school looked like freshmen year, but I can remember we were shorter, dumber, and way more scared of seniors. We were told we’d get book-checked all the time and even put in trash cans, but we survived and together we’ve faced a lot. We’ve grown closer because of the teachers and administrators who care about us and our future. They’ve pushed us, and we’ve pushed each other to step out of our comfort zones, try new things, and not regret our mistakes. The mold itself was gross,
but we got to experience the temporary classrooms, the “Red Robin effect,” and different classrooms every quarter. It may have seemed annoying at the time, but few people can say they were apart of a school that was a new experience every day. We’ve changed with this school. Now that we’re ready to move on, we feel we’re leaving part of ourselves behind at Abraham Lincoln, but there’s no doubt we are ready to be done with Council Bluffs Community School District. AL looked different and weird to us
when we first came. It seemed outdated and was ready to be improved. Now it looks like a whole different school and can hold almost any event. We too used to look funny and we needed some improvement. Now we can take on the world and do anything we want.
