EMQQj siulol wm-wm a a □ 5 enior year has been fun, bur scary. The nearness of our debut in the world was instilled in every move we made. The challenge of becoming an adult in the working world has been suspended above us through each day of classes, each rest, each interview, it seems the dock ricks away our rime faster and faster. Why is it that the more you ' re enjoying yourself, the quicker the rime passes? Spring is here again. It crept in between the shadows of the trees. It ' s here to claim us. Spring is calling the seniors to break away from their collegiate lifestyles and realize their full potential in the world. It ' s nor easy. Then, what is? Each of us arrived here alone on a hot, muggy day in August. We grew, changed, and developed our minds and our hearts. We made ourselves a career as students and built ourselves a home here with a family of friends. Dur the warm spring winds are calling now. They ' re advising us to gather our knowledge and store it in our minds for the future. They ' re telling us to open our hearts to our family of friends and keep them dose. They ' re whispering to us to remember all the lessons of academics, love and life. Now it ' s rime to leave. We must leave the way we came; alone. And that won ' t be easy. Spring is a rime of new life and beginnings. In the spring we are revitalized, refreshed, and readied to face the future. Many of us are unsure what the future will hold, bur we have more now than we began with. We ' re going out beyond the guard shack as educated adults with a firm foundation from Assumption College. Senior year is a year of anxiety, planning, thinking, and remembering. It ' s the year of stepping out to show the world what we are and who we hove become.
