jennaveve: i’m so happy that i met you my senior year, even though it wasn’t what we expected, you made a difference in my life. when reading your speech, you touched me emotionally and made me cry. when you see me at school and day hi to me and give me a hug, it really makes my day. jennaveve never change and stay true to your self. i know god has great plans for you and i’m so excited to see you grow. i love you jennaveve and please don’t me scared to text me
katie: where do i even begin. when i first met you was over the summer playing volleyball and i knew that you were going to be trouble. you have such a high energy that it scares me sometimes. you are such a creative person that you are now going to take over as the capricorn artist for me and gabriel and i know you will not disappoint. i do wish we had more time together but ik this is not the last time i will see you. i love you katie and make sure to find your capricorn buddy cause they will last you a life time.
maddie: you remind me so much of me, being involved in many activities in school and i know you won’t stop there. advice i give you is that with being involved in so much make sure to know that is okay to say no. take care of your mental health and have time for yourself. stay positive like you already are and i know that you will do amazing things, not only in our school but also our community and then the future.
mak: you are my bully and i wouldn’t have it any other way. when i became your sister’s friend and she told me about you and i did not know what to expect. we didn’t get to know each other until your 8th grade year and let me tell you, i was scared for my life. your energy is like no other and im so grateful (i think) that we are so close. thank you for always sharing the drama from your class and for sticking by me and my decisions in life. i know that you don’t show emotion that much but i know you have a big heart. one thing i did not know when becoming your sister’s friend is that i would be gaining a little crazy kid with it.
april: when i first met you, im not going to lie it felt like i met my soulmate. you have such a bubbly personality and a big heart, that you reminded me of myself. we are both hopeless romantics which is my favorite thing about us, but hopefully we will find our mr. darcy sooner than later. i admire you so much april and your confidence when you wear white pants to school. i seriously dont know how you manage not to get them dirty. advice i give is to stay true to yourself and don’t back down from a change. also if a guy your talking to in the furture doesn’t fake marry you during christmas and doesn’t give you a hallmark fairytale…he’s not the one.
kade: you have changed so much from when i first met you and your brother in 6th grade. i remember you and your brother always playing tricks on me at park view and knew that you in particular were going to give me trouble, but i knew you were going to do great things. thank you for being you and never lose site of yourself. make sure not to bully the incoming freshman too hard in leadership but have fun with it
niki: im not going to lie, when i first met you sophomore year, i was so scared of you. i dont know why but something about that year i was scared to do anything wrong. of course right now, i can say that i was completely wrong and that you aren’t that bad lol. this year was tough for you with being asb president, apply to college, studying for ap exams, work, and anything else that stressed you out. with having so much on your plate, you still found time to check up on me and how i was doing being the senior president. those check ups met so much to me and thank you for giving me advice on the senior class. niki, words can not describe on how proud i am of you for working so hard and chasing your dreams. people may say that you need to relax or take a chill pill, but your work ethic is one of the things i most admire about you. i love you niki and i know that you are going to run UCLA and show them who is boss.
kate: we have literally sat next or near each other all through high school. what am i going to do without you on my side. i am going to miss your loving smile and your incredible fashion taste. your laugh is so contagious and im gonna miss you so much. my favorite memory of us is when we were in paris’s classroom and you were laying on me sleeping and you randomly woke up and scared me and layed back down. it was like you were possessed. anyways i love you kate and stay your whole hearted selfwhole hearted loving self
bella: im so mad that we didn’t get to know each other until our last year at rhs. from this year we have gained a friendship like no other and i can’t tell how mad i am that we weren’t friends freshman year. a word that i would describe you is optimistic. i love how you were so hopeful about getting into your dream school, and you did!! all that hard work payed off and i am so proud of you. with you going to LMU and me vanguard, we are only 40 mins away from each other. lets make up for lost time and hangout during college and have study sessions in disneyland. i love you bella and don’t forget us when you become a famous film maker.
gracie: i know that we are not that close but i have to say that i care for you so much. as you know last year was so hard on me, you were one of the people that kept checking in on me and it was much appreciated. you caring about me personally and my life really made a difference and i don’t think you know on how much of an impact you have left on me. the way you speak your mind and care for the little things and act on them is what i admire about you. i know uc merced is no berkeley but i know you will make an impact on merced. i will keeping praying for you and your future whether you decide to stay at merced or transfer to berkeley. know that you matter and that you have made an impact on my life and many more lives to come. thank you for being part of my life.
gianna: heyy g money!! you have changed into the best person ever, not saying you weren’t cool before but within the last year or so you have gained confidence in yourself and it is really inspiring. it’s crazy to think that we once played softball for the school and then quit the next season. i think it was a blessing in disguise. thank you for letting me be part of your life and let’s keep in contact during college because i’m gonna need some g money energy in my life. i love you g and plz for the love of god dye your hair lavender!!
gabriel: gabriel, my capricorn buddy, we have know each other since kindergarten and look at us now, leaving our artist legacy to katie. thank you for letting me help you with poster making even if you do do most of the work. i was there at least for emotional support and to spark great ideas off each other even if jacob and brendan thought we were crazy and didn’t have the same vision. gabriel we have a connection like no other and i’m going to deeply miss it. you can never be replaced and you better keep in contact with me some how because i can’t let you go. thank you gabriel for all the memories and when i do the graduation speak you and jacob will be right there next to me in spirit.
deicia: i have literally been dreading this one because i don’t want to say goodbye, even tho it’s not a goodbye just a see you later. you have pushed me out of my comfort zone and i am one of the luckiest people on earth to have you in my life. we have changed completely from our freshman year to now. i remember you telling me that you were scared of me or something along those lines because all my friends were white, but hey now i have you. when you came into my life, it changed for the better entirely. you helped me become more confident, well spoken, and taught me to stand up for myself. i know that there are times where we don’t see eye to eye but that is what makes us so close, challenging, and fun. i don’t think you understand how important you are to me. whether it’s me ranting to you about my life or planning on fighting our ap gov class, which i am ready for any day now. thank you for all the adventures, movie nights, rants about my loving cat, merlin, and being one of my best friends. i love you deicia with all my heart and please don’t forget about me.
jacob: i have known you since we were in diapers. i don’t know how we handled each other when we were younger but hey we made it this far without killing each other. our relationship has grown so much over this year and i’m so grateful for these memories. you are my best friend and my brother. thank you for letting me rant to you about literally everything that is going on in my life and giving me your full attention and advice. thank you for checking in on me when you notice i am having a bad day and making jokes that leave me dying of laughter. you were a big impact on why im going to vanguard, our long talks in the car and your bear hugs helped me so much more than you will ever know. im so grateful for you and being in my life, i am so proud of you and the man that you have become. you mean so much to me and i don’t know how else to say it. i love you curless and thank you for being my golden retriever buddy.
