ABC...
Although these halls are filled with good and bad memories I would not change a thing. Being in this building every day taught me lessons in life and not only the classroom. Chatting it up with friends never got old no matter how many days passed. Doing the same old thing might have seemed boring but I guess it was not all that bad. Every day that I came to this building brought me one day closer to the last. Finding out how close we are to the end is almost a little scary. Getting that diploma still feels unreal, like it will never happen. High school is a time for memories, friends, and experiencing life. I know I got everything out of it that I could. Just because it caused some tears doesn't mean I'd take any of it back. Knowing that it made me the person I am gives me a good feeling inside. Learning about english, math, and science wasn't all this building gave me. My friends and I have been counting down the days for weeks now. Nine days, eight days, seven...and now it's less than a week. Opening those doors on the last day will seem unreal, walking out to the parking lot and leaving for the las time. Parents will sit in the gym a few days later and cry about how their baby is all grown up. Quiet tears will fall from their eyes and loud cheers will escape from our lips. Robes and caps will turn into a maroon see as we stand as a class one last time. So many hours lead up to this moment, I can't believe it is finally here. To my surprise I'm almost a little bit sad that this journey is over. Under all of the daily complaints I guess part of me will miss this place. Values changed as I went through my life here but I guess it's time to move on. Where I will move on to next I'm not really sure. X-rays of my heart and mind couldn't even describe this feeling. Yet I bet I'm not the only one thinking this right now. Zoning back in and away from my thoughts just in time to hear “I now present to you the class of 2011.”

I love this type of piece because it's so creative. you did a good job using words that actually went along with your story and the next letter. I liked the "nine days,eight days,seven" thing because it shows your excitement to end the year! Well done!
