Alivia Insixiengmay – Mustangs Ahead
(LAKEWOOD RANCH, FL) – Monday was the last day of school for LRHS seniors. Many senior Mustangs expressed gratitude for their years of experience at the school and have many feelings on their last days of high school.
Josie Plakyda said, “I think I’m more sad about moving on from this period of my life, versus the actual high school/ people here. I’ll miss living at home, having no real responsibility, and being at home with my family all the time.”
For many seniors like Plakyda, they are emotional about moving on to the next chapter of their life.
“My last day of high school is more emotional in the sense that it symbolizes the next era of my life, and I’ll miss being this young and carefree, but I trust that my life is only going to improve from here and I’ll achieve all my goals,” Plakyda continued.
Some other Senior Mustangs like Olivia Ellis are more upset about leaving behind their friends.
Ellis said, “The last day of school was sad since I’m leaving all my friends, but I’m excited for a new adventure and the next chapter of my life.”
