Among the flurry of senior activities to celebrate their impending graduation, seniors also naturally become reflective this time of year. Starting off in sixth grade, with thoughts that they had so much time at Trinity, to now, when they only have a couple of days left, seniors realize how their time at Trinity flew by. As they prepare to start a new era of their life and get ready for college, they look back and give some advice to the younger grades.
“When I was a freshman, I thought that high school would never end, and I was always wanting to get older and older to see what it was like, but I want to say now at the end, I wish I had cherished the fun more,” senior Gavin O’Brien said.
“I would say for middle school, just have fun,” senior Finley Gattis said. “I feel like we put a lot of pressure on ourselves here just to always do well, but just have fun, hang out with your friends, make good relationships. High school goes by so much faster than middle school, but try your hardest to become responsible and be able to almost teach yourself how to live on your own so that you’re prepared.”
“Enjoy the moment, and have fun, don’t stress so much on school because at the end of the day, you’re going to succeed in whatever you put your mind towards,” senior Isabella Moore said. “Enjoy all the things that you will eventually never get to experience again.”
“My senior night was so bittersweet because we played a good team, and we weren’t supposed to win, and (because of this) it was one of my favorite nights, even though it was one of my last,” O’Brien said.
“I ended up (on senior night) being happy and just appreciative of all the memories I’ve made with my friends rather than dwelling on the fact that it was over,” Gattis said.
“Looking back on the memories I’ve made with my best friends who were also on my sports teams,” senior Reha Nagda said.
“I remember vividly being told all through middle school they really do say that it’ll go by super fast and you have to enjoy it, and I’ll say the days were really long, but the years were really short,” Nagda said.
