I remember the countless trips we made to Steak N Shake after a variety of events we had going on. I remember my last band competition. I remember riding in Zach’s car. I remember running down to the band hallway every morning just to see someone. I remember fighting with my mom and dad. I remember going to the lock-in. I remember homecoming.

I remember saying goodbye on graduation day to my best friend, and I remember saying goodbye to someone I miss a lot. I remember making friends and loosing friends. But I don’t ever want to forget any of them because knowing them is what makes me who I am. I don’t want to regret anything, because I know that at that time, it was exactly what I wanted.
