MIKE ZACKERY NOT PICTURED: SAM DEERE It’s graduation and it’s unbe- lievable that I’m here. They’ll call my name in a few minutes, and I’ll walk up to receive my diploma . . . where do I go from here? I’ve always had the security of the school routine and it’s activities, surrounded by the friends I was so familiar with. Now we’ll all be going in different directions, and I wonder how long it will be before the memories that meant so much start to fade. After twelve years of this you would think I would be ready to move on, but I feel like I’m leav- ing a part of me behind. Maybe that’s good though, because I really have changed in the years that I’ve been here. Well, pretty soon they’ll get to my name. Then I’ll be up there, and it’ll all be over. In a way, I guess every- thing’s really just beginning. 27
