My valedictory dinner was held last Friday at The Sebal in Albert Park. It's really coming to an end isn't it? I've been feeling really old recently. When I have the time to relax and thing about my past 13 years of primary and secondary schooling I keep seeing fragments of my memories flying around in my head. The friends, the mistakes, the learning, the 'firsts', the fun times, and the hardcore studying... It's what older people do right? Reminisce about when they were young. The 'golden days'.
I think one of the most important things school has taught me is about people and relationships, apart from the actual knowledge side of things as well. During this time I've made friends, lost friends, learnt the real meaning of betrayal and trust and realised the importance of family. At the end of the day, your friends won't be with you forever and I guess this is a good example of such a time. It's really ending isn't it? Next year everyone will be doing different things, seeing different people and going our own separate ways. I keep wondering who I will still be with in 10 years...heck even next year. Who will be there for me? Current friends, uni friends...or no one?
I start exams next week and it really freaks me out to know that my whole future will depend on them. People say 'you are not your score'. Yeah I guess, how can a person be a number? But it's more then that. It's not just a number to me. It's what determines where you will be in 10, 20, 30 years. What if I completely stuff this up? I don't think I'm a 'bad' student, but I'm not the best....but where do I stand in the ranking of the WHOLE VICTORIA? There are so many smart people out there and people who have probably worked 100 times harder than me...so were am I in this curve? What number am I?
Anyway moving on from my soppy life story...Here are some pictures from valedictory!
