Will you be who you were meant to be, or will you be who everyone wants you to be. It is up to you to decide your destination, just it is the events along the way that shape the nett outcome. As we sit here at graduation, having suffered and prospered through four age at County High School, it is hard to forget the memories weve shargond. At the same time, it is palmy to see how the past four years necessitate shaped who we argon today and impacted our future forever. Who crapper forget being a freshman finally out of middle school, we took on the world in a school of 1,400 that was only suited for 900. Weve sat in non only moldy portables but also condemned bleachers, seen rusty water, squished together in the gym to display our spirit and learned what it means to truly use hard. We took the challenge presented to us and chose to succeed in one way or another. Whether on the playing field, in the classroom, with an instrument or in the community, the institution of our hig h school career began our journey and began the adventure to become our destiny.

Some will cobblers last a vitalitytime, and some will last no longer than tomorrow, but either way, its okay because we will forever be impacted by it. As a class, weve laughed together, cried together, skipped class, failed tests, aced tests we forgot we were taking and outright, were graduating together. Whatever the event, we did it as a whole. by dint of all of this, there were the teachers of Arlington High School.

How about the career search, the I search and the scholarly paper in English? We are now masters at finding the slope of a line politeness of the math department, and who hasnt had the quadratic formula engrained in their mind? All because of the teachers who have supp orted us through these past years. Without them, our outcome in life would be dismally different. They taught us to be who we are and proud of it at that.
