I cant think of the right word to express what i'm feeling right now.
It's the end of an era, 12 years of schooling.
It feels like its gone so fast.
With all the friend, the people, the teachers, the books and pens, the writing, the running and the laughing, It flew by, I spent so much time focussing on the bad things in school, there was a alot, but there was alot of positives too.
I've learnt so much, I put in the hours, the days and weekends and I feel like I've come away with so much knowledge.
And there's no way that the teachers were the only ones teaching me, I learnt from the students I spent each and every day with, they all helped me through this long path, I tried to be the best friend I could be and be there for anyone who needed me because they did the same for me
I'm gonna miss the people watching, seeing students run and play, I'm gonna miss running and playing just because I could.
I'm gonna miss laughing at every opportunity I had and spending time with the people I care about, I'm not going to see them every day anymore and I dont think thats set in yet.
I'm holding in the tears as I'm writing this.
To the teachers, thank you, you were my guides, my leaders and my friends. You made learning fun, you've prepared me for life, I know understand that everything you put me through wasn't just so I would graduate and be ready for my exams, it was so I could be independent and strong. You made me feel safe and smart.
School is such a wonderous place, full of surprises, sure there were people that made me feel crap at some point, but thats a part of life.
I'm ready to take on the world, and discover new friends and places, but I'm never going to forget my time in school, and I cant belive im going to say this but im going to miss my uniform. It was comfy and it let me blend in as much as possible.
I feel like we all came together as students as the year came to an end and it makes me smile.
I regret not having a leavers book or a shirt to sign:

I hope that we don't lose touch,
You all inspire me so much,
You made my life interesting, made me feel alive.
Your all so diverse and individual, thank you for being my fellow students, you all taught me so much and I hope that I have influenced you positively in some way, like you all have.
As soon as my TEE exams are over, I'm going to be doing a lot of reflection, I know theres going to be regrets and sadness, but thats okay.
Goodbye Governor Strliing class of 09 Leavers, this is just the beginning of our lives, its scary I know, the world seems so big.
But I want you all to know that I'm thinking of you and i think that all of you will go far,
I want you to just live life, experience all you can, learn all you can.
Dont forget your time at govo, I sure wont.
I love you all.
