It’s the end of
summer. Everyone knew it would come, but I don’t think many of us realized just
how close it really was. But what we have to remember is that there really is
no end, just the beginning of something new. That’s this school year. Our lives
are moving forward and taking us to new and greater places.
Seniors-We’ve ruled
this school for four years, and as this school year slowly starts, we are
prepared to work hard to earn our place in a much larger world than Pike County
High School. We are preparing for college, and as our lives move forward, we
will never forget what helped us make it.
Juniors-You’ve been
here for three years, and this year will be the most fun. You’ll realize your
place in Pike County High School, and you’ve already found your friends. You
know the teachers, and you feel comfortable walking the halls. Your year will
be full of tests that will prepare you for 12th grade and a life
after high school.
Sophomores- You are
no longer a freshmen! That’s cause to rejoice. You have a sense of what
direction you want to go, and you have prepared to work hard and earn a
respectable place in the school. Don’t try too hard; it’s easier to find than
you think. Your life is still beginning at PCHS, and I promise if you focus on
your work and work hard, it will breeze by. Look forward to your years left of
high school, because after that they are gone, and you will be thrust into a
very strange world. Take advantage of the education in front of you.
Freshmen- You’re
new here, and we all welcome you to our school. We are happy that you have
arrived because without you there would be no future. You are the future of
Pike County High School, and I hope you will truly realize that. Work hard,
because if you do, one day you’ll be lucky enough to have half days. Push your
way to the top, but don’t go alone, take along those who will value your
friendship. Pick friends for who they are, not who they act like. It’s
difficult to tell, but I’m sure you’ll figure it out. You’re all so bright and
eager to be here. We’re proud that you all made it.
For all of us, the
2013-2014 school year has just begun. My hope for us is that we realize that
together we can do anything. If we are just willing to give a helping hand to
those who need it, just willing to go out of our way to help someone with
directions. If we were so kind as to give a simple smile to someone who doesn’t
have one, that is what will make this school year great. It’s not so much the
grades, though those are important, but that we try our best on the way. Don’t
be afraid to talk to your teachers; don’t be afraid to ask a fellow student
that gets it for help. Don’t be afraid to shine, and don’t be afraid to stand
out. You are all wonderful people, and you need to realize that. I pray for
success this year for all of us, and I pray that we have the strength, courage,
and motivation, to keep it up till the last school bell rings. Good luck to us
all!!
