A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Goodbye...

Dear Highschool,

We're through. For four years, I have stressed over you. All the tests, exams, summatives that I did for you...well you won't find me doing them for you anymore. It has been a very fair deal that I had made with you. I shall remind you of ALL that I did for you (as I'm sure you'll never forget) and should time permit, I shall list what you have given me in return.

Invoice
To: high school
Re: the contributions of K. So to 'high school'

four years of my youth
four years worth of STRESS
four years worth of time spent preparing for your evaluation
four years of worrying about grades
four years of school clique rivalary
four years of back breaking weight carried on my poor, poor back
four years of missed TV episodes, missed season finales, whole dramas
four years of sleep
four years of fun
four years of my childhood

and to be fair, I shall take more time out of my free personal time to list your contributions to me:

Invoice
To: K. So
Re: your end of the deal

2 different schools
36 different courses
tons of friends and fun
awesome prom
personal development
the first step to a great career

However you may wish to feel about our perpetual separation, I cannot govern. But please, PLEASE: as much as you love and will miss me, please do not keep me. If you let me go my way, I promise to take long strolls with you down memory lane. No, I have not shed any tears over you - at least not many. We will still be friends should we ever cross paths again. In exchange for my total, complete release, I offer you my sister to you. you will have exactly ONE year to release your anger on her before she will LEAVE you like I have. Good luck...friend.
-K

P.S. I have enclosed a picture of myself for you to reminisce me with. Farewell.



P.P.S. as a courtesy, I will be headed to the University of Guelph to begin my four year bachelor's degree on Plant Science. Should my finances, and my integrity allow me, I shall complete my masters as soon as my undergrad is complete. Please do not count on seeing my (aside from Christmas, and summer) for the next few years. I shall be an hour's drive to the west of you on the highway. Please do not visit.

CONGRATULATIONS, GRADUATE!

OH Kenny--first let me say congratulations on graduating!!!
I wish you all the very best in your college career and beyond. I am sure you will do fantasitcally well.

Second let me say how much I love your letter to the school!! it is most prefect. It is a very well and humorously written. I enjoyed reading it. thanks for the smile it put on my face.

Keep us updated on your progress in the future years, please.

Cool, Kenny! Congratulations! It is an awesome accomplishment.

Congrats Kenny! You Look awesome in the picture,,, We're very proud to have you here and know you'll be a successes in your future endeavors,

Congratulations Kenny!!!!

Congratulations Kenny!!!!

that's too funny. Onward and upward.

thanks guys! wouldn't have been able to de-stress if it weren't for all your posts :)

Who's that guy all dressed in blue you're shaking hands with?
Man, don't try robbing any banks, "be on the lookout for a big, tall guy with a square hat!"
I was never so glad as the day I got out of highschool...college was voluntary, highschool was not. I applaud (double and triple applaud) your choice of plant science. If you ever run out of beer money and have to choose between beer or tuition, you might just pass the hat here and come up with some coin....for beer. Some things in life are just more important than others!
You've shown how intelligent you are right here, college should be a breeze for you. And if you need someone to write a term paper for you, well, I've never found a use for that English degree a got. (keep it a secret, folks here still have a modicum of respect for me!)
Bravo, Kennyso!

i don't know which i like more, your letter or your picture! very nice congratulations.

Congrats!!!!!

High school is a prison and you...YOU are free!!


What are your summer plans? Hopefully catching up on all that TV you missed (and working in your garden).

p.s. when I saw the subject line, I thought you were leaving the forum.

Congratulations Kenny!

Congratulations! I saw your topic title and thought you were leaving us. LOL
