The good old dog days has been a time for change and although it’s time to move on, it’s important to remember my experience because it has made me who I am today. It has brought me through ups and down and has allowed me to meet amazing people and experience life and love.

I would like to thank everybody who has made me laugh and grow and develop and who has dealt with my short, curly haired self. I would first like to thank my best friends who have been there for me when I have needed it most and who has made this experience so special. I will never forget about the memories we have made and the journeys we have been on.

I would also like to thank my technical theatre program. I would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Gomez for my start in the program. I would also like to thank Mr. Humphrey and Mrs. Huerta for seeing potential in a shy girl who, at the time, could barely raise her voice. I would also like to thank Mr. Bazan, Mrs. Cornwell, and Ms. Hall for giving me so many opportunities to help me grow, into a more confident leader I can be today. I will be forever grateful for the countless hours you all have put into the program and into myself. Also, I would like to thank my tech family. I can never thank you guys enough for all of the hard work you put in and for making the hours of rehearsal so memorable. I would also like to thank my newspaper family.  Thank you all for making me laugh and being so kind every step of the way. Thank you, Mr. Reeves, for pushing the paper and myself to do the best we can and thank you also for the hours of hard work and dedication you put into making this program into the one it is today. I would also like to thank The First Tee, a program that has helped me grow into who I am today, and I would also like to thank Mr. Cantu for his smile and hard work.

Lastly, I would like to thank my family. Thank you for being there for me every step of the way. Thank you for dealing with the extra hours of extracurriculars. Thank you for helping me through the stress and cheering me on. Thank you to my strong parents, my grandparents who didn’t miss one event, my goofy but amazing brother and my role model nana. Thank you also to my dog Cash for always being the best buddy and most supportive buddy there is.

Thanks to everybody who has helped me through the journey and to anyone that has made me laugh, I appreciate your kindness and patience and I will never forget the impact you have made on my lives.
