Wow...time passed so fast. I cannot believe that I am graduating already. When I first came to VES, I've always looked forward to graduate, but now that I am close to graduating, I wish the time goes slower so that I can have more time to enjoy my life at The Old 160. But since I know that that is impossible, I will take this moment to thank those who made my life in VES so special.
First and foremost, Mom, Dad, thank you for supporting me, both financially and mentally. Without you guys, I wouldn't be able to study abroad in US and enjoy my life in VES. I know that it was a big commitment for you guys and I am truly grateful that I have parents like you guys who are willing to make that commitment for their own son.
To all faculty members, thank you so much for supporting me for the last 4 years. As teachers and coaches, you guys definitely helped me and guided me to go toward full stature. Because of you guys, the 4 years in VES made me to become an adult and more mature person. Your lectures in class expanded my knowledge, your advice as advisors helped me to feel comfort and to become a better person, and your work as coaches helped me to keep myself healthy and to learn the values that I will carry the values that I learned from sports to my life.
My friends thank you for being my friends. My life in VES would not been productive without you guys. You guys always supported me, listened to me, and encouraged me. People always say that the friends you make in high school are those who have the greatest impact in your life, and for me, that is absolutely true. Studying for test together, being a teammate, and hanging it out at box or dsl or computer lab, all of the moments are valuable to me. Even though"I will be far away from you guys because I will be in California, I will always remember you guys and keep in touch with you guys.
Thank you VES. It is the bittersweet farewell, but I know that my connection to VES is not going to end. So good bye, for now.

Thank you all who made my time at VES awesome. Mr. McCormick, I know I probably made a grammar error in here somewhere but thanks for being the best English teacher I've ever had. Mr. Leake thank you for getting me through school and pushing me through swim practice. I'm going to miss my senior class bros: Philip, James S, James B, Eric, Flo Society, Chris, David, Joe, Kelvin, and John. Also I can't forget the coolest underclassmen. George, Christian, Kyle, Bond, James, Jack, Nick, Michelle, Riley, William, Cole, Caroline, Holt, Cody, and I'm sorry If I left anyone out. Enjoy the time you have left at VES. William, have fun in the upcoming year.
Things I will remember:
Egg smashes with Philip and Joe, giving Mr.GS high fives after chapel, James's sick mind, swim team state meets, senior pranks, Harrison always having my cash, dry ice with Philip and Jack, hot tubs, shredding the gnar at Ballhooter, riding Fabian down the slip 'n slide at counselor day, working VES sports camp, and crazy basketball games.
