Journalism Staff These are farewell letters to the seniors on our Journalism staff, who have always been there to help us through everything. First off, congratulations! You have made it through your four years of high school. Thank you for teaching me new things the past two years. I remember being the only freshman to walk into newspaper trimester two, everybody knew everyone and it was the scariest thing to do. I want to say thank you for welcoming me in and acting as if I have been in there for a few years. You all have taught us so much. -Adriana Ibarra Because of you seniors, this Journalism group has become better. You all changed me for the better, no matter how insignificant our conversations have seemed. You are all such great individuals, and thank you for being a part of my first year of newspaper.

Senior year is something that each student is looking forward to their whole high school careers. Senior year comes with all of the privileges, such as getting short days, and even getting let out of school early for graduation. There are many expectations for senior year, being the end of one chapter of your life, and the start of a new one. Senior year is by far the most exciting year of high school. “Senior year was probably one of my favorites,” Koury Stewart, TJ Senior said. “It became one of the biggest parts of my life, it was where I finally started to find myself.” However, school is not the only thing the adult life throws people’s way.

leadership roles that come with graduating. All of high school is spent preparing students for graduation, but underclassmen feel pressured in their years prior to the last year of high school. “Being a senior next year makes me nervous, but it makes
feel relieved,” said TJ junior, Sarah Rinner. Rinner says that she is excited for senior year, but she is nervous for the work that will pile up. She isn’t sure what she wants to do yet, and she knows that soon she will have to make the decision. “What am I going to do?

Where am I going to college?” said Rinner. “This is a mid-youth crisis.” Senior year brings stress at the beginning and the end, but the outcome is gratifying. Congratulations to the graduating class of 2016, and good luck to the class of 2017!
