With graduation just over a week away, many seniors here at Dakota are feeling nostalgic as they say goodbye to their friends and teachers and prepare for the end of the year. I asked some of my classmates to reflect on our final year of high school by describing it in one word (pictured above). There was a variety of responses, but most saw the year as a positive one overall and agreed that it went by way too fast (though it sometimes felt like the opposite). It was definitely a year with many ups and downs for everyone, but most people seem to feel good about it as they look back and remember everything that happened.  

To the class of 2019: Whether you had a great year or a terrible one, I hope you’re excited for all the amazing things your futures hold. Congratulations!
