Official Graduate

I have officially graduated my college, Kristin School.

Leavers Dinner... Unforgettable.

Somehow I regretted not knowing all of the 170 other students graduating with me this year... the Kristin class of 2009; some of them eternal friends and some of them unforgettable companions but was ashamed to have realised I've never seen some of them before the dinner...

Lizzie, your speech made me wonder whether I would ever find a friend I could truly cry for when we have to say good bye...I must also say that you were brilliant to everyone, all the time during your life in Kristin, and you always will be, I'm sure.

I had also been personally mentioned by Mr Kelly in his speech, which was an honor.

Memorable quote from Mr Clague, not a teacher but definitely someone I will miss the most:

"Success is something accepted by many but recognised by few; excellence is something accepted by few but recognised by many."

This will be engraved into my heart, being absolutely certain that Kristin had brought us personal and unique excellence instead of steering us into the path of shallow stereotypical success, while being absolutely certain that this excellence will be followed by amazing success.

I am writing this entry with a hint of depression knowing I may not see most of my Kristin community again for a very long time... Hopefully I can bite my lip and move on despite feeling a great gap in my mental world where Kristin used to be.

All the best, and thank you Kristin teachers, staff, friends for making my life into something much more.
