The Eclipse seniors say goodbye

As a senior in high school, I am routinely asked what I plan to do with my future. Such a broad question emanates a number of possible pursuits in my life.  Spending the last 13 years as a Hornet allowed me to discover who I am through countless lessons inside and outside of the classroom. I plan to attend Eastern Michigan University this fall to study psychology and journalism, two passion...

As I walk away from Kearsley High School for the final time, I look back on my time here with an overwhelming amount of emotion. I'm proud of my achievements, sad to be leaving, and happy to be taking the next step in my education as I leave for Saginaw Valley State University. I wouldn't be confident enough to go to school if it weren't for the amazing teachers who inspire me every day. Thank...

Senior year has been bittersweet. I have spent the last 13 years being a Hornet, and I can't believe my time has finally come to an end. I am excited for my future to come, and I am eager to begin my next journey at Saginaw Valley State University to pursue a degree in early childhood education. I can't wait to make an impact on the minds of the future and become the best version of myself. Thank...

Although I often talk about how ready and happy I am to leave, now that the time has come I realize I am not. Yes, I am excited to finally move on and start working toward my future, but I am not ready to leave the things that I hold dear to my heart, such as the teachers that I have built bonds with and the classmates I have grown up with. I will never forget the memories and laughs we have...

Thirteen years. That's how long I have been a Kearsley Hornet. The fact that I am down to my last few days is bittersweet. I made many friends during my time at KHS -- it feels like everyone here is family, and it's sad to go. It feels like just yesterday I was starting middle school, with the impending doom of not being able to get my locker open. Now I am near to beginning my new journey...

To the ones who told me I'd never make it to high school, let alone graduation -- I've made it. I can't lie though, senior year is bittersweet. It's hard to imagine that this is my last year of high school, and here I am getting ready to attend UM-Flint in the fall -- something no one thought would happen. I've grown up from the girl who believed she'd never reach her 18th birthday, and I've...

I have always looked forward to the day where I could say I'm done with high school, but as I look back on the memories I have made I realize that high school has made such an impact on my life. I can't thank my teachers and peers for all of the lessons that I have learned from them. College is going to be a challenge, but I know that I will use what I have learned here. Thank you to everyone...

As a freshman, Mr. Darrick Puffer asked me to take journalism, but it didn't fit in my schedule. When senior year came, I finally decided to take the class, and I'm glad I did. Journalism has exposed me to new people and brought new friends too. Thank you Puffer for the experience that many students are not offered. I've been waiting for graduation to come. But now that it's here, I'm gonna...

This is the end. Four years went by faster than I ever could've imagined. I would like to thank Mr. Matt Binko for encouraging me to do my best, even when I thought I could accomplish nothing more. Twenty years from now, high school will be a big bundle of good and bad memories that I wish I would've savored at the time. Live it up underclassmen, you only get one shot. Senioritis is real,...

A lot of people consider high school to be not only the best four years of their lives, but also the peak. If I were to say the same, I'd be a liar. However, there are only less than a handful of regrets that I have about my time in high school. My independently-found love for music and all forms of art and artistic creativity will always endure with me, as it has before my time here at Kearsley. I've...
