We Are Family

​

My time at East has finally come to an end, and I never thought I would get this far but now my time has come. One of the many things that has gotten me through my obstacle was the friends I made and the relationships I had with my counselors.
 
I would like to give much love and appreciation to my guys Cisco, Mikel, Miguel, and JJ. We got some good memories that won´t ever be forgotten, especially our chill spot in the commons area. Through my senior year I realized how much I’ve grown, from being an antisocial kid, despite going through my everyday battles being in school.  These friends got me to feel better and I'll always cherish that.
 
I would also like to thank my counselor, Ms. Dubiel. She was really there for me when I was at my lowest, whenever I needed someone to talk to she always took the time out of her day just to talk to me, even if it was for 10 min. The fact that I could pretty much say how I felt meant so much to me and Ms. Dubiel you´ll always be the best. I’m going to fulfill my promise and get to college and go all the way.
 
East High has really shown me that we are family. I learned skills that I can now use on another level, and I will use them for success. Thank you to every single last teacher who I had throughout my high school experience, especially Mr. Conrow. Your Optics classes were the best classes and by far my favorite class, and I definitely will pursue my dreams of video games. Love you guys!
