Ladies and gents, when you read this letter there will be approximately 70 days of high school left in this school year. I am using this forum to beg my class and schoolmates to spend these final hours embracing old and new friendships, supporting and attending our friend?s activities and sharing what few opportunities we have before us to enjoy and experience each other as high schoolers.

Just like Jesus said in Matthew, “We are in the last days,” and “The end is immanent.” I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it is not an oncoming train, it is the vast world of colleges and universities and jobs that will separate us from our Fresno Christian family in many many ways.

I am making a pledge to attend winter and spring sports events, to cheer and celebrate our friends’ successes and console their failures. I will be at the upcoming drama production and the choir/band performances.

Please join me at these events so we can sit back and enjoy the entertainment together ? lets laugh until we cry. I will save you a seat if you would like.

I am especially calling on all seniors because our fates have been sealed; colleges have received our applications, the padding of a resume is futile at this point, and frankly we have been trained well in the ways of God and men ? it will all work out.

Let?s take these 70 days to put others before our selfish desires. Join me in this 70 day pledge to embrace the achievements of our friends with enthusiasm at this last opportunity to cheer them on. The final act has begun, so let?s end it with a bang.
