Well, what can I say? High school has been quite an interesting five yean; for me. Going to VES has been a fantast ic experi ence and I feel that I have gained a tremendous amount in my three yean; here. I have grown up a great deal, and I owe VES a significant lot ofgratitude for playing a big part in that process. Fin;t of all, I would like to thank my family for their never-ending support and providing me with such a wonderful high school experience. Mom, Dad, Oyllan, and Alystyre: you have a lways been there even when my situation seemed hopeless to help me all that you possibly could. You have done so much for me , and I will never be able to thank you enough.Secondly, thank you to all ofmy friends both here at schooland at home for ali the good times and for being there for me. Thanks especially to Hunter and Bryan, as I could not ask for two better friends. Lastly, I need to thank some wonderful teachen; who have touched my life: Mr. McCormick, Mr. Finlay, Mr. Smith and Mr. Ross- the best math teacher I ever had. It has been a great three years and I am ready to move on.
