First impressions aren’t everything

By Ting Wong , Ridgeway High School

My presence in the halls will fade as I leave my school for good, but memories remind me life must go on. So I say goodbye to everything I’ve done at Ridgeway in the past four years.

My achievements will be remembered, my accomplishments are valued and my power to never give up keeps me going. Most importantly, my art, my warm smile and jokes gave everyone the impression I am a great student and friend.

As a quiet, shy freshman with perfect grades, everyone had the impression I was one of those crazy over-achievers. Being part of The Teen Appeal in my junior and senior years allowed me to meet people and uncover a new side to myself. My art illustrates how I have grown.

To the underclassmen and all my friends, I wish you the best in whatever the future brings. Remember: “Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, is our destined end or way; But to act, that each tomorrow find us farther than today.” — Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
