Though some people have already gotten off school in their final year, I wonder if they felt the same way I do. My graduation is only a month away, and I'm not sure if I will be in the mood to celebrate when the year is over.
There are so many things to think about and miss, friends, teachers, year resolutions, classes (maybe not so much), and most importantly, the memories of it all slowly fading away. I'm scared to think of graduating, almost to the point of it making me cry to sleep every night or when someone reminds me on whim. Every time, its like a timebomb ticking away and I have no control on stopping it as I have no control over each sunrise and sunset. (Cheesy line, I know)
I know probably a lot of graduate students my age would have already been thrilled to finally free of schooling, even I as a child couldn't wait to be a grown up and ditch the learning and nagging teachers, but in the past few years, I have grown to realise how valuable my time is in youth and how spoiled I have been to not cherish those moments. My school has given me everything I never knew I needed in my early teens, especially after my shortcomings of accepting and learning about my aspergers syndrome. They've helped me calm my mind, live every waking moment to the fullest, lung at any opportunity that flew my way, and inspired me to try new things I didn't think I never would.
Because of them, even in my home life, I had learned to be a less fussy eater in earlier years, explore other communities full of people who are unique and diverse, and most importantly, helping me go navigate the path I ventured in the last 3 years to slowly found my identity as non-binary.
My school will forever hold a special place in my heart, and will always be regarded like a second family that is way closer to me than my first. Many of the teachers have watched me learn, grow, and become the person I am today, as well as many of my friends who have been with me at my best, worse, and most embarrassing moments.
I don't want to leave them and I'm scared-- no, terrified to. I know I'll be sad when I go, but I'll do my best to make sure I live the next month with all the best, and create memories, which I hope will stay with me until the sadness passes over.

It is good that school has been such a help to you. But the time comes for everyone to put school books away and to enter the adult world. You are very lucky that you will have fond memories of school unlike many others who hate it and those who are bullied. When you leave you will close one phase of your life and open another. They say that when one door closes another opens and that is what will happen to you. You will start a different phase of your life and hopefully you will be somehow enriched by this as well. So with saying goodbye to one phase you will say hello to another and get on with your life. I wish you all the best.
