When you cry, tears fall out of your eyes. That is the simplest I can say for what happened after school today. Tears were let out for joy, sorrow, future regret and many more emotions. I was deeply saddened by the scene today after school and felt like crying myself.
Many people were crying today. From fifth graders to seventh graders. Everybody was at least deeply saddened by the depart of the grade seven graduates.
I can't believe that I'm finally leaving Begbie. Last year, nobody was crying when the grade sevens left. What the generation of Begbie graduates created this year was a beautiful community. I feel the grade sevens last year neglected the younger intermediate and primary grades and therefore only shed tears amognst themselves. But there was a full out bawl after school. Because unlike last year's grads, we actually managed to make friends with the younger grades. We created deep bonds that will never be broken.
That is why people were crying.
What Else Can I Say?
Today was just a sad day. There is nothing less and nothing more of what I can say. If you let sorrow go, it only turns to remorse and regret in the future.
I'm a 10. No reason not to be. Might as well keep on going with my "perfect" life. Here is my final speech at Begbie. It will be a quote somehow.
"A friend is someone who wants to catch you before you fall. A friend is someone who does not scold you for making mistakes, but instead helps you correct them. I think we've really created a great community of friends here. As Gordon says, there is a difference between farewell and goodbye. Farewell means goodbye forever while goodbye only means "See you next time." I hope I am only saying goodbye and not farewell." - Kevin Zou
