The End of an Era
Time passes quickly, and with it, eras come to an end. Today, I reflect on the end of an era in my life, when my high school years came to a close. These were special years filled with memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. However, the end of this era also signals the beginning of new chapters in my life.
