Bang! The sound the locker makes as it's slammed
shut. "Don't run!" The teachers yell. It's the start of summer and
the last day of school. Friends giggle at inside jokes and teachers sigh at
relief of not having to grade essays, clearly typed last minute. The loud
speaker makes a shrieking noise before announcements are made. Principal Bates
addresses the entire school. "Good afternoon Herndon Hornets! Let me be
the first to wish you a happy summer. Please remember to be safe and most of
all have fun! As a Herndon Hornet, we expect you stay on top of summer
assignments. Please enjoy your summers and we look forward to seeing you next
fall!" Another shrieking noise is made at the close of the speaker. 3,2,1!
Ding! The bell sounds off a stampede of students into the summer. I take my
time walking down the halls. Now empty, I try to remember the paint color, the
floors, the smell and everything I look at. I think to myself... "This is
my last time here." Sadness rushes through my heart as memories of
friendships go through my mind. Times of great lessons I'll take with me.
Memories of teachers who impacted me I'll cherish forever. Farewell, Herndon
High School.
