Text Box: "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying good-bye so hard." "All I'm saying is, I want to look back and say that I did the best I could while I was stuck in this place. Had as much fun as I could while I was stuck in this place and played as hard as I could while I was stuck in this place.” "It's funny how the first time we were at this place, something between us was beginning.....but it breaks my heart to know that we are at this same place and that something between us is now ending." "And so it comes just as it is, a day no longer here. And through my trembling fingertips, the memories of the year. I try not to wave farewell to all our dreams, I will forget you never, I wonder if the crazy times will stay with you forever. But as I cry in pain of losing you, my dear and such great friend, I will not close the book and say farewell, this is Text Box: the end. For good-byes create swift hellos and days from now you'll see, that though it hurts to say good-bye, your friend will always be." "As I look back on all that's happened--growing up, growing together, changing you, changing me...there were times when we dreamed together, when we laughed and cried together. As I look back on those days, I realize how much I truly miss you and how much I truly love you. The past may be gone forever...and whatever the future holds, our todays make the memories of tomorrow. So, my lifetime friend, it is with all my heart that I send you my love, hoping that you'll always carry my smile with you, for all we have meant to each other and for whatever the future may hold." - C.L. Purdy "Growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you're in diapers; next day you're gone. But the memories of childhood stay with you for Text Box: the long haul. " - The Wonder Years "There are still memories to create and that’s precious. 'Cause in the end you always turn back to who was there at the beginning." - dawson's creek "So the only thing I could think of that unites us all, that we all have in common, is that we all start out in kindergarten thinking we can be anything we want to be. And by the time we get here, we've all lost that feeling. We've all started to believe whatever our friends or our parents have told us about what we can achieve in life and who we can be. And we've forgotten about the possibility we had when we were younger. That's the one thing we all have in common, so that's what the symbol on this mural means: possibility. I painted it because I thought we all could use a little daily reminder of the fact that if you believe in yourself, even when the odds seem stacked against you, anything is possible." - dawson's creek Text Box: Graduation
