Endings are a funny thing; mundanities becomes monumental and every insignificance becomes grandiose. It's like just yesterday, you struggled to wake up early for school, and once you made it there, you bought your daily sushi from the Grove for lunch, and then today, surprise! You're graduating. No more early mornings at KYHS. Surprise! You won't have the Grove sushi in Israel or college next year. And suddenly you're crying over a california roll that you never even thought was that amazing. Suddenly, you're picking out new bedding for a twin in a shared bedroom, and you're buying a whole new wardrobe because next year you'll be somewhere much, much colder, or somewhere your skirts have to be much, much longer. It all happens so fast that you're not even aware it's happening, and then, surprise!

Looking back, it's easy to understand why the flap of a butterfly's wings can cause an earthquake. Seniors know that we did not just end up here, even if that's how it currently feels; we worked our way here through minor hurdles and major ones as well that we never expected to encounter. Four years ago, I was a completely different person; we were all different. Highlites was different too. Something I've learned about life through this whole "moving on" process is that nothing is insignificant. Further, nothing can be a mundanity if your life is in constant motion, as it should be. I hate to break it to you, but you're never going to be as young as you are right now. You're never going to sit in the exact place you are right now at this exact time. And frankly, you're never going to read a new Sara's Scoop article in Highlites ever again. But that's part of the beauty of it all.

Sorry to disappoint, but this article isn't classically investigative. I'm graduating soon, and I cannot end my last sappy, raw article without sincere gratitude. Every time one of you stopped me in the hallway to talk about my recent article, every text I received on Friday afternoon letting me know that people read my articles, has made every hour worth it. Here's a secret: Sitting in front of a keyboard trying to connect to a wide audience isn't easy. I have always said that I write because it is the action of making history. So here I declare myself retired from Sara's Scoop, but never from writing. As my dear seniors and myself venture to the great unknown, we will always remember the time when Wednesday afternoons were the longest and Sara's scoop was just an idea. The time when laughing with your childhood friends felt like it would never end and you never thought you'd pass that Physics test. But life goes on; we would know. We're leaving behind everything we know and exploring the places we've always wanted to. It's a time to reminisce, but not for too long. Life really is a big old cycle of beginnings and endings, things to remember and things we want to forget. But open your eyes. Because letting go of that cycle mentality allows the most beautiful union of your entire life. We don't live in segments, we live as people. Sure, for some of us, high school is ending, but it'll seep into everything we do as we carry the memories and lessons with us. Today, I propose the abolishment of the horrible concept of the ending. Today, we become fluid. And that's the scoop.
