HAS BEEN PLAYING the saxophone for 7 Years

FINAL WORDS: Well, I’m not too sure. I don’t really want to consider this my final words because I’m sure I’ll see everyone again. I had a lot of fun in band throughout high school. I remember the bus rides going to other schools for games, or the games themselves. Hanging out with the saxophone sections from 9th-11th were the best memories I made during the time I was here. I was hurt when the people in the grade ahead of me left and I wouldn’t hang out with them anymore or make memories with them like the ones we made before. They all went to college or did other things with their lives. But I guess I’m next in the path of leaving high school and graduating. So I will miss you all and I wish you the best in your futures. I love you all. Thank you for giving me all these amazing memories.
