Dear Seniors

Dear Seniors

Education. It takes up about thirteen years of your life before you’ve even reached adulthood. Although you are approaching the finish line of your high school experience, you will never stop learning and growing as an individual. Graduating high school does not only symbolize accomplishment of getting through the past four years, it is a celebration of a coming of age.

You grew up in these halls; your teachers have watched you grow into responsible and mature young adults. Although some of you cannot wait to get out into the world and explore all life has to offer, others are bit skeptical about leaving and making such a sudden and drastic transition from adolescence to adulthood. Although everyone has their own reasoning and justification for their fears, there is one common influencing factor- many of the greatest memories in your life are made within the walls of our school buildings and these memories will never be forgotten.

We are not only saying goodbye to the graduating class of 2014, we are sending you into your adult lives and celebrating your journey there. As your final days at Greater Nanticoke Area come to a close, your classmates reflect upon the many memories made here in our school and on the senior trip.

As the Class of 2014 you have chosen “You’re gonna miss this” as the commemorative anthem to the ending of your careers here at GNA. Trace Adkins’ words resemble all the feelings that come along with graduation, including those which are exciting as well as reminiscent. As excited as you may be to be leaving high school years behind you, we know you’ll never forget them and the people with whom you shared them.

Although not everyone keeps in touch after graduation, you carry the memories of those with you forever. Forget me nots, blue & white, and the phrase “All for one and 14 all,” serve as representative symbols of your youth and, when thought of, will bring a smile to your face and warmth in your heart. Goodbye graduating class and good luck. “Ever Praise the White and Blue.”
