Best memories of high school:
My best memories of High School would have to be those that were made with friends in the hallway between classes. Between talking about the work due for classes or the quick jokes we would exchange to ease the pressure of school, hallways breaks with friends always give me a little piece of clarity to my days.
Favorite classes:
I don’t have a favorite class this year, but in past years of high school my favorite classes were the Computer Science or Technology classes I took through Hudson Valley with Ms. Wetmore.

I plan on taking a gap year to work and save money to find my own place. After that I will be going to Hudson Valley for two years and then hopefully transferring to UAlbany to major in either Computer Science or Electrical and Computer Engineering.

The only thing I can say to fellow classmates and Mountaineers is to lead your own path. At the end of the day you are the only one in control of your life and you are the only one who has to be happy with the decisions you make. So do what makes yourself happy and proud because no one will ever have to live your life besides you.
