I wish

To my fellow classmates and friends.

I wish we would’ve known that we had already had a bunch of lasts so we could make the most of them. I wish we would’ve known not to take anything for granted. I wish we would’ve done more together as a class and gotten along better. There are so many things I wish we could’ve done and accomplished this last quarter and I know this time is hard for all of us, but we are in this together!

 Constantly wanting early outs and days off was an every week kind of thing, hoping we didn’t have homework was an every day prayer, and taking notes, how we all hated taking notes. I wish we didn’t take any day at Rock Island High School for granted. Friends and classmates, think back on your best days at Rocky and let those be your last memories. 

In high school, people create cliques. In the 2020 class there are many, many different cliques. I wish as a class that we would’ve been closer, argued less, and cared for each other more. To my fellow 2020 family, text, call or write someone in our class to let them know we are in this together. Through this tough time, we need each other more than anything.
