it is crazy that I am graduating this week, becoming first of my family to do so...
here are some excerpts from notes written in my yearbook!
- "Thank you for being alive, you really made my life better."
- "I think you're the smartest high schooler like ever in the sense of things that matter, you're outstanding!"
- "You're the backbone of the QT Kingdom."
- "hey you're really funny"
- "I think you're the worst person ever... but actually I love you david thanks for being in my life."
- "You've made high school years the best and I'm blessed."
- "I secretly don't hate you. Don't tell anyone. Do great things."
- "You have a way with words I could never achieve."
- "I'm so glad we met this year because you make me laugh + smile + your poetry is bomb."
- "Have a good time at SMC but don't forget your family at Dorman."
- "Typical Rebellious Aquarius."
- "All You Have To Do In This Life Is Die And Pay Taxes."
- "DAVID"
- "Stay enthusiastic about weird stuff."
- "Let your art speak for itself and remember, everyone has stuff in their life that sucks, so you've just got to work with what you've got and go from there."
- "I have seen you grow so much on stage! I am so proud of your accomplishments this year - you are OUTSTANDING!"
- "Remember the little people back home!"
- "Never stop learning and never stop being curious!"
- "You are gifted in many ways and I can't wait to see your achieve all your dreams."
- "Hello, I know you!"
- "I am so glad I got the chance to meet you and get to hear your beautiful poems."
