The Eclipse seniors say goodbye

While I've had a love-hate relationship with high school, I struggle to say goodbye to this. Saying goodbye to The Eclipse and all of the friends I've made writing for it after two long years is possibly one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I don't want to do it. I've grown, both in my writing and as a person, and I couldn't have done it without the people around me. I st...

Well, my 13 years are complete. Not only am I saying goodbye to this school, but I'm also saying goodbye to friends, inspiring teachers, and familiar faces. We may pass each other again one day and exchange the casual, "Wait, did you go to Kearsley?" This will then bring up the embarrassing memories, the drama that was all for nothing, and all the, "She's married to who now?!" It seem...

High school was a four-year roller coaster and the ride has finally come to an end. It's time to say goodbye, a bittersweet but exciting moment. There are many things I won't miss about high school: the noisy lunchroom, the students who like to scream in the hallways, waking up early, and the 4oo Hallway. But there are some things I will miss: I'll miss my friends who are moving away, some...

We say that we can't wait to leave, but is anyone really ready to leave? I don't think you can ever really know until it's already been done. School has been somewhat of a "security blanket" for a lot of us. We have always had a set routine to follow, made by someone else to guide us everyday. Leaving home, going to college, being independent and starting a new chapter in your life sou...

As my senior year comes to an end, I realize that I'm saying goodbye to a place that holds many memories that I have created over my four years here. I have also made some great friends here that I hope to keep when I graduate. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read my stories while I was writing something new each day. Also, thank you to those who have supported me ...

Goodbye high school, hello independence. The last four years of my life have forced me to endure every emotion known to man. But, somehow, I still managed to make it through high school with a sane mind. Although I'm relieved to be finished with this chapter of my life, it's the chapter I'll never forget no matter how hard I try. I've made so many great friends this past year while being...

Writing has always been my passion and my goal is to write something meaningful. I want to write something that is inspirational, something big, something life-changing. Writing for The Eclipse has given me that power, and I couldn't be more grateful. I would like to thank Mr. Puffer for showing me that I have potential and to work to be the best I can be. I would also like to thank my...

My journey in high school has been challenging. I've learned a lot of things that I wish I could forget, and I've been around a lot of people I wish I never met. Kearsley High School has not always been a place I wanted to go to. But my senior year has really opened my eyes more. I've realized how much more I need to learn before I enter the real world. I've had to learn to love myself and be...

Senior year has been stressful, but it did go by very fast. I can remember sitting in first hour on the first day of freshman year. I sat there dressed in my Nirvana band tee and a flannel; I had a very distinct style back then, which changed over time as we all do. Over my four years in high school, I have learned countless life lessons, like how bad it hurts to lose a friend or how rew...

I used to absolutely dread school, until I joined The Eclipse. That's when school became less of a chore for me and became something I actually enjoyed. I discovered my love for writing when I took Mr. Puffer's creative writing class my junior year. Ever since then, I have been hooked. Writing is something that allows me to get my feelings out and turn them into something beautiful. ...

The year is coming to an end, and I am finally starting to feel the reality sink in. I might actually miss this place. It gave me a sense of belonging, a place to meet people I can relate to. After high school so many things will change, and that's going to take some getting used to. I feel like I am ready, but who knows what will happen next? Being a part of The Eclipse has given...

Kearsley has been an interesting journey, without a doubt. Although it is tough, keep on pushing because it is worth it. Take in every moment and have as much fun as you can because these are the best years of your life. To the future staff of The Eclipse: don't wait until the last minute to write your stories and meet your deadlines. Also, listen to what Mr. Puffer has to say. He knows wha...

Some people consider high school the best years of their lives. With all of the sporting events, dances, and laughs, I can understand why. For me, high school has been four years of self-discovery and transformation. My freshman year, I would have never considered myself a writer or an artist. Four years later, I've fallen in love with my ability to create and share with others. Jo...
