Well, it came! Graduation Day. What I had spent 17 and a half years of my life building up to.

I cried a lot leaving campus the Friday before we graduated. School ended on Wednesday. However, I had some things to take care of, and it was incredibly hard having to leave a place that had given me so much. I spent four years of my life on that campus, growing and just living my life, and knowing that it was no longer mine was the epitome of bittersweet. 

However, walking down that field on Saturday morning, holding hands with my best friend, decked out in our robes/cords/stoles/caps, donning Columbia Blue and Gold one last time was the finishing touch on the wonderful portrait of my time here at HHS. 

So, without further ado, here’s the video I have been working on for quite a while.

And now summer’s here, I chopped a foot and half of my hair off, I’m going to Cabo in a week, and I am ready for anything. 

Thanks for the memories, HHS.

Here’s to the future!

Love,

Izzy
