If you were asked to give advice to your senior class and the younger students at your school, what would you say?
Enjoy every bit of it while it’s here because it doesn’t last forever. You never really lose friends. People and come and go through out your years of school and all you’re doing is picking through finding the right people for you. It doesn’t stop after you graduate either I’d imagine. Be kind to everyone, and be a light for people that aren’t as fortunate as yourself. A small act of kindness can completely change the direction of someone’s day. Even their life.
