It’s a Feeling
Six years ago, I walked into CBA fresh out of the sixth grade.
This June, I m graduating with the class of ’95. From day one,
everyone here told us what a great class we are. We heard that
on the first day of each year, from grades 8-12. I’ll bet that in
some speech at graduation, we’ll hear it again. We sit and lis­
ten, but how often do we really hear what’s being said to us?
Not often. We usually zone out and say, “OK, whatever . . . ”
The tmth is, they’re right. But it’s not just because our class
is so smart, or because we’ve achieved so much. It’s not any­
thing I can describe, at least not on a piece of paper. If you’re
not a part of it, it’s hard to understand. It’s a feeling and atti­
tude. It was the end of my sophomore year before I felt it, but
maybe some of us felt it earlier. Maybe some of us never will.
I think our class is really close, though. For the most part, we’re
all friends. There are, of course, some hard feelings, a few
grudges, and personality conflicts, but we are friends. We care
about each other. There’s always someone to lean on, some­
