We’ve been waiting for this day for years. These last few months jam-packed with honors, awards, free breakfast and lasts. You always hear talk about how “it’ll go by so fast” but it’s not until the number of school days dwindles down to single digits that you really realize it’s coming to an end. These walls that we’ve practically lived in these past four years will soon be foreign to us as we venture out to start our new lives, full of adventure (and in many of the math majors cases, caffeine). As we finish up our second to last week of school, I feel it’s only necessary to thank the place that brought us so many memories over the years. So in a true “ironic/sarcastic fashion” I’m here to list my thank you’s.

Thank you, teachers who assign homework every night the last week of school, if my motivation wasn’t high at the beginning of the year already, you were right in thinking it’s high now.

Thank you, McPherson High School, for helping me remember the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, and that we are the powerhouse in high school basketball.

Thank you, fire alarms, for not only getting me out of class once, but for getting me out of class three times in a row.

Thank you, Chromebooks, for finally giving me something lightweight and full of charge that I can use for homework, but mostly for Netflix.

Thank you, MHS vents, for making me realize that yes I can still be freezing when it’s 80 degrees outside.

, the AC, for being a perfect place to trip and openly make a fool of yourself in front of your entire class.

  But in all honesty, thank you MHS for being a school that accepts us for who we are, and continues to push us into the young men and women we are today, for that I will be forever actually grateful.
