 These   two   years   have   been   one   long   rabbit   hole.   I
 came   to   Kodi   wanting   to   excel   academically,
 becoming   the   level-7   student   I   was   before   coming
 here. And I wish I could say that it was all cherries and
 pie.    But   my   first   semester   in,   I   failed  at  Math,  lost  one
 of   my   closest  friends   here   and   refused  to   admit  that
 maybe   coming   to   Kodi   wasn’t   that   great   of   an   idea.
 Not  to   forget  that   I   was  constantly   reminde d  that   11th
 and  12th   grade  were   the   most  important   years  of   my
 life   so   if   I   screw   this   up,   chances   are   I   wouldn’t   go
 anywhere in life.

 Of  course,  all  that  anxiety  was  masked  by  distractions
 .   I   completely   dove  into   the  theories  and   philosophies
 of   Theatre,   I   read   a   lot   of   scripts   that   I   have   always
 wanted   to   stage   and   found   inspiration   in   the   most
 weirdest   things   and   people   (Hi   Dora!).   I   guess   I   was
 tryi ng   to   find   my   “why”.   And   I   have   had   some   help
 with   that.      The   people   I   am   the   most   closest   to,   my
 Theatre   class  (yes,  this   class  of   freaks  that   I’m  proud
 of),   Nini,   Rhea,   Tanya,   and   many   others   if   I   mention
 would   take   pages   and   pages   of   this   yearbook,   all
 have   helped   me   through   this   process   of   self-
 understanding   and   self-love.   And   most   importantly,
 that I’m not alone.

 So   now,   I’m   graduating,   becoming   th e   “adult”.   I   not
 even  sure  if   I   want   to  become  an  adult.  But  I  know  I’m
 going   to   be   heading   for   an   adventure.   And   as   I   look
 back   at   my   time   at   Kodi,   I   would   think   of   all   the
 memories,   the   good   and  the   bad,  from   the   late   night
 cries  to  the  dorm  dance   triumphs,   from  times   of  self-
 doubt   to   trust   and   love.   But   now,   it's   time   for   me   to
 go, move on, find out what I can do in this world.
