To Cole high school wasn’t important to him because he kept saying “high school doesn’t matter” which caught on too. The classes he took were fairly easy he was just getting by basically. That all came to an end when he started applying to college and his advisors said he needed to get his grades up. At this point Cole really didn’t like talking about this because it was embarrassing which was very noticeable. As he talked about his grades his voice softened but he said “it all changed my senior year”. Cole was a big partier in high school and likes to have fun so it was high senior year and he wanted to make it very memorable. Unlike most people in our high school he wasn’t too worried about getting into college. Senior year most people stressed about getting into college and finishing strong. Cole applied to a few school pretty early in the year and got accepted into West Virginia University and immediately accepted that and was now able to relax. The rest of his senior year was a year to remember because Cole enjoyed every second of it. He partied harder than anyone I know he was always down to party any day of the week.

He saw something in me that no one else did, and I didn't know at the time, but I’d later draw inspiration from that in a different setting.…

It feels like just yesterday when I was accepting my diploma from Mr. Salvatore, my middle school principal and crying while hugging friends who I knew would be attending a different high school than I. Then, on that hot September day, walking through what I thought must have been the biggest school in the state of New Jersey, I got lost, made new friends, and college was but a dwarfed blip on my radar, far, far away from the center of my mind. Subsequently, in tenth grade, Union High School became smaller and my excitement for graduation was planted by the upperclassmen’s conversations about the upcoming prom and graduation.…
