These last three years at MRA have gone by like the wind.  It seems like just yesterday we were in Mrs. Cook’s class learning about Greek & Roman Mythology or in science last year with Mr. Garritano studying atoms and elements.  This school does not even really feel like a school, it more of a family or second home.  Everyone is there for you, and that is definitely one of the many things that I will miss.  When I leave, I will have so many memories of how remarkable all of the teachers are/were, and how all of my friends stood by me when things looked dreary.

This year was a tough one, what with Senior Project, but it has been a year that has made me stronger.  I feel that I am prepared for High School because of what my teachers have done for us.  Over the past couple weeks, I have wondered if I am truly ready to go onto High School, leave my 6th and 7th grade friends behind, begin an unexplored chapter in my life, and become a High Schooler.  Then one day, things were put into perspective, I can come back and help, I will see them in two or three years at the maximum.

MRA has been an amazing experience for me, and I am glad that I was given the opportunity to share it with my friends.
