Dear Galileo High School,
With my past four years with you, my encounter with you has been a very crazy and emotional rollercoaster filled with ups and downs. It was certainly an exciting adventure and one that I will always remember.
From the moment I stepped on campus, my time with you had been filled with many positive memories and stressful challenges that changed me to be who I am now. From being the lead editor for your weekly broadcast, to having coffee to help me after you handed me lots of work, and even giving me grateful festivals that even I will remember until I come back for our reunion,I’ve always enjoyed being around you. I found my passion for other things just because you had these opportunities slapped across my face everywhere I go, especially Digital Communication. Finally and most importantly, I have learned great communication skills that surely will help me in life that I never had in my past.
The heart-breaking moment of not being able to get this last year of going to festivals, being able to plan another winning song and yell, which was amazing, due to a pandemic, but it never changed me knowing that I am mentally with you.
However, you never failed me and was able to get us a graduation for us to go out in a bang, that I’m grateful for. You were there for me at my best, when it was difficult, and now you get to see me bigger, prouder, and confident to start the next road in life.
Instead of a goodbye, I want to say thank you for being there for me. To the teachers, you brought me to see who always believed and supported my passions. As well as the people I just saw in the hallway I with you who became good friends. I hope I have made you proud looking at me now. I hope I represented you well. I am grateful to have you in my life. Thank you Galileo High school, and I hope the best for others who encounter you.
Sincerely,
Raven Bautista c/o 2021
