Lasting memories

Matt Wotus

Forty-five seemingly short months ago, I, along with many others, walked into Apex High as freshmen, uncertain about what the next four years held in store. Now just over two weeks from graduation, I see that high school brought a lot more to the table than what we give it credit for.

Honestly, these four years flew by. I distinctly remember walking into my first high school class, English I. That feels like it could be just yesterday. Sure, there are times when school couldn't have gone more slowly, as we all had classes we hated. In reality, when looking at the big picture, these four years are just a small portion of your life. Five years from now, it won’t matter what you wore, what you said, or what you looked like in high school. The only thing that matters is that you’re happy with yourself. As I said, high school is just a small portion of your life, but it’s where we develop an identity. For myself, I sure did a lot of growing up in high school. I developed an identity, made a name for myself, and created so many amazing memories that will last a lifetime.

Farewell, Legacy

Throughout the past four years, I have taken a total of 32 classes. Some were interesting, quite a few were frankly dull, and others were simply difficult or stressful. Flash forward decades into the future, I’ll remember my nerve-wracking first day as a freshman, slicing open a frog in ninth grade biology and discovering eggs, Algebra II struggles, Coach Todd’s positive spirit and interesting projects in AP Psych, as well as the consistent nausea preceding a timed writing in AP English. However, as I look back on my high school career, one class stands out as the most impactful and significant: Legacy.
