Script:

I never thought these four years at Green Hope would change my life so drastically. When I started my freshman year I thought this school was so HUGE! My first days here I was wandering through the halls with my nose in the school map. I was really quiet, and I spent my mornings and lunches with a few friends in the library. But between then and sophomore year I learned to step out of my shell. I also started hanging out with new friends, who were outgoing and fun to be around. They all helped me realize who I really am! After sophomore year ended I went to Georgetown in DC to attend a leadership forum on medicine and health care. It was my first time traveling on my own; I think it helped me gain some independence. It was such an important experience for me because I was far outside of my comfort zone, but after making some friends I feel like I've become more open to people. My summer after junior year was just unforgettable. During the school year I had won a trip to Mexico. Those two weeks in July were epic. I had seen things I'd never thought I'd be able to see. I made so many friends, and I became a lot closer to them than I have to a lot of the friends I made at Georgetown and even from here. Senior year's been a strange mix of lots of fun and a LOT of stress. I really owe a lot to my family and friends for helping me through the thick and thin. I think that by senior year I've really become more open, fun, mature, and generally happier. Well, I can't believe it's pretty much over already. With graduation in June, there's not much left between me and my future. Thanks for making it an awesome four years everyone! :D
