Because my other blogging friend Tyler doesn't have that much of a fan base, I will say what he said in his posts.
First of all, I would like to state that I was incorrect when I said in my last post that this one would be put up after I graduated. So there's something. =)
Ummm. How do I start this? We've got friends. Family. Teachers. Staff. We're all divided into different "levels" of importance. I can hopefully say that Begbie puts their students up first and foremost. I've never looked at this from the perspective of a sixth grader, seeing all his/her friends graduating and leaving his/her life. Well, I guess I did in grade six, but did I really pay enough attention like Tyler did?
I'm not really a guy for words. I don't know how to phrase any serious things and I'm thankful that Tyler has done that for me.
It's true (first you should read this) that all the bonds, friendships and groups that have been created at Begbie with the grads will not end. But it's also true that those chains that link us together will be weakened. They will grow rusty over the years, as friendship does without care (and sandpaper XD) and occasional meetings. Soon there comes a point in the chain's life when it just snaps. It is the time in a person's life when they are married and "have no time".
Including today, we have five days to make friends, lose friends, settle fights and begin fights. Some of the grads are out to various high schools such as Kilarney, Templeton and Alpha. Friends at Van Tech will make new friends, keep old friends while the other people will be only able to create new friends and try to desperately hang onto their old lives.
So with rejoice, anger, sorrow and longing to keep my friends, I do say goodbye, for what I hope will not be forever.
We're Never Who We Are
I'm really sad that the graduation assembly will not have a valedictorian. Because if I was the valedictorian, I would have said what I just said in the last few paragraphs. But among all the important and useless things in life, there is another topic that is useful to talk about.
Tyler also mentioned in his blog about our friendship. He says that I don't know him for the real Tyler. I completely disagree with him. Because I used to think that. People don't know the real me.
HOLD ON. I'm just going to quickly write the end of the post here because I want this particular post (yes... it is special -.-) to end at the very end. And not have some sort of lame conclusion.
Ummm... Adieu?
Farewell (which is adieu in French) my good friends. But with every farewell comes a new hello. It's kind of awkward putting the end of this post in probably what will be the middle of the post). It was a awesome little part of my life to work, play and share my life with you guys.
I for sure am a 10. Excited for the graduation ceremony on Monday and cruise on Tuesday. Definitely the next post will be written after I'm graduated from elementary.

Back To We're Never Who We Are
Okay. Now. I was taking about how I used to think that people don't know the real me. From the perspective of a person who thinks that people don't know the real him/her, you would think, "I only act my real self when I'm at home." But when you're at school, you act differently. When you think that people don't know you, you think that you're wearing a mask. But does life not include school and home?
Basically what I'm saying is maybe you're not yourself at home. Tyler says that I don't know him, but yeah, I do. I know who Tyler is. I know the school Tyler. Maybe he just isn't himself at home. If you put it that way, then you're either always yourself or never yourself.
And that's something to think about.
Didn't I tell you that this would be an awesome ending?
