I woke up this morning with that "I'm ready for school!" feeling.  I was ready to take that teen leadership exam and tackle it: I was ready to get it over with, I was ready to leave school with confidence saying that I did get an A on the exam and have no regrets. I again but on that invisible bandanna saying "You Can Do It Gloria!" and left the house with pride. That was me this morning, that was me with that confident feeling.

But behind that one mask, I felt depressed. It would be the last day I would see some or none of my seniors. Unfortunately, I haven't even said bye to them like everyday I would do when I leave from our little lunch table. To tell you the truth, I didn't even see them today and I regretted not saying good bye to them properly. My heart felt this little burden I couldn't let go of - and I knew it, I was going to regret not saying good bye to them. Really there was no way I could say good bye to them; only in my prayers - only in my dreams.    

Seniors, you may feel that it was so selfish for me not to say good bye to you guys, but in my heart, I did say good bye, whether I'm really close to you or not so close to you, or not even know you, you all are still the seniors in my heart. As we part, I hope you can reach for the stars and have a successful life. I hope your dreams come true and I hope that there are no misfortunes in your life. I hope your life will become complete: make enough money, make your wife/husband happy, have a wonderful family, and be happy - that's the most important thing. I will miss you and I hope you will miss me too.

good bye, seniors.
