My final day of school looms.
It's 7:57pm, 3rd November 2010. In almost exactly twelve hours, I'll step off my train do my bro-hug with my best friend Connor, and set forth towards our final ever day of high school.
It's been one hell of a journey, and I can't say I remember the Benjamin Upton who first walked into MAGS five years ago. But what I do know, is the Benjamin Upton who is going to leave it tomorrow, is someone who understands himself. The last five years in my life, I've had numerous subjects, countless lessons, but the thing I've most enjoyed learning about was me. Who I am, who I am to others, who I can be and also who I should have been.
I'm excited to be going out into the real world, to being my own independent person. But I'm also incredibly saddened. I'm going to miss "The Original Six", my closest mates. I'm going to miss a few teachers, Mr. Gibbs especially. I'm going to miss the interaction of ideas and views from a year group that consists of people from every part of the social spectrum. But what will I miss most? The times we laughed. The times where everything didn't seemed to matter and we just rocked back on our chairs and laughed, the pure joy of those moments, I will never ever forget.
Well, Leavers Dinner tomorrow, then a massive guy fawkes with my best mates the next day.
Can't wait :D
