Summer Reflection

By Jermyn Voon

Wow, what a summer it has been? It felt like it was just yesterday that we finished grade 12 and started summer. As I look back my summer, I am excited to what is going to happen in the next few months. I am starting a journey, or if you want to put it, I am sailing a new ocean.

As look back my grade 12, I am sadden with fact that some of my friends I know I will never see again, others will come and go and others will be back for the new year. I just never know what the future has in store for me and you but all I can say “have fun, enjoy life and embrace and take the opportunities that life offers you”.

This summer, I finally turned 18. I got to experience my first drink, my first time to a pub and a nightclub/bar.

Remember the first night that I went out, it was fun. I drank 6 drinks that night. Two actually drinks and 4 shots, a night that I will never forgot but also a night to forgot as well. That type of buzz only happens once and for me it was for my 18th birtthday. I am thankful for the opportunities and for the friends that have made during the last 2 months of summer but I know there is alot more of those things to come.

Reading Kabs’ and Brieanne Biblow’s, note made me think about my high school years all over again. Wow! Everything was soo much fun but its all done. It happened to way to fast. Well not really, to be honest, it’s just starting. This when real life starts. This when there are opportunties and only those who are able to and who are willing to grab and hold on to them will have many successes in their life.

To my friends, class of 2007, I thank you again for the great times and the bad time. You may ask, why the bad times- well you need to be thankful for the bad time because without those trials and bad times, you would never have the good. As the saying goes “you want to see the good times, you have to put up with rain”.

Good luck to my fellow classmates and remember all things are possible.
