I want my parents to be proud of me I want them to know that I have my own purpose and I ' m looking forward to my future The lime has come for me to make a life for myself Jonight IS not the end. but only the beginning e long and winding road

•l W ' r ■ Graduation . . I ' ve dreamed about this dav tor so long, and now its finally tiere Well. I guess the reality of it all is just a little overwhelming. I can ' t stop thinking about the past — the Friday night games we cheered at, the Homecoming floats we struggled to build, the rap sessions at the torch, asking that cute guy to dance at the first Howdy Hop — and just laughing and talking with friends — now its all over. As I look around at the faces of my classmates, some that I ' ve known all my life, I can ' t help but wonder if the friendships that mean so much to me tonight will last We ' re all going to dif- ferent colleges — some so far away from Glendora. Will we still have the same things in common? Will we still be able to talk and laugh like we have these past years ' ? I guess with each new phase of life you have to give up a part of the past, but you can never give away the memories. You know, I had always looked at Graduation as being the end of an experi- ence, but tonight I realize it ' s really a new begin- ning I ' m excited about the future — I want to live each day of it to its fullest ' I may never pass this way again, so with one last glance behind me, I must move on and follow my own road. •itUiiiMiiiii
