It givesyou a chance to make changes forthe future. But above all, it was animportant time in our lives becauseit allowed us to display the maturityand the skills we’ve learned tobecome great leaders.You can never be sure where lifewill take you, or what it has in storefor you, but there is one thing thatI know will never happen. Thereisn’t another place that I can callhome like I can call Park, or a placethat I will stay for 10 whole years.That is a very special thing that onecan never forget about Park. It alsomakes it hard to forget being a studenthere, since I’ve been here forso long. But, with the lessons I’velearned during my time here and thememories I have created, I cannever forget Park or even begin tocompare it to another place, consideringall that it has done for me.Being yet another member of myfamily to graduate from Park, frommy mom, my uncle, my manycousins, to now me—it has trulybeen an honor. It’s amazing to knowthat they, too, had the same ceremonyand have come out to supportme and congratulate me on my successat Park. However, it doesn’t endhere. Since my brother is going tobe here at Park, the torch has nowbeen passed down to him. The bestthing of all is to know that I havepaved the way for him. Park hasgiven me the opportunity to beindependent and to make decisionson my own—to become a leader. Iwant to continue to use this and toguide others in some way, being arole model. I plan to do great thingswhen I get old, but I will never beable to do these things withoutstopping first to remember where itall came from: one little place that Ican call home—Park.Asher BohmerWellesley High SchoolAnnalin CarrollBeaver Country Day SchoolPhoebe ClarkSt. Paul’s SchoolDaniella ColomboMilton AcademyAnnie GoodridgeThe Winsor SchoolEmily HoytPhillips Academy AndoverEmily JacobMilton AcademyBrittani JonesBoston Trinity AcademyLilybet MacRaePhillips Academy AndoverMackenzie MillsBeaver Country Day SchoolHannah OettgenBoston University AcademyCharlotte RossMilton AcademyGilad SecklerNewton North High SchoolGrif SeeleyCommonwealth SchoolBarbara SinghakiatThayer AcademyPadraig SullivanThe Cambridge School of WestonNyle Thomas-AndrewsBoston College High SchoolMichela ThomsenThe Rivers SchoolAlex WayeDana Hall SchoolThe Park Bulletin | Fall 2009 13
