4 People Every Senior Needs To Thank Before Graduation
Mikayla Poindexter

Graduation is right around the corner for high school seniors, and with that comes writing a lot of thank you notes. These last couple of months are going to very hectic and you'll have many things to do, but just don't let these 4 people fall through the cracks.

1. Your Parents

For 18 years your parents have driven you to every school function, every track meet, every football game, and everything else you ever wanted to do. They have fed you and cared for you and now you're leaving them to make your own path.

Odds are this is harder for them than it is for you. So, make sure they know they are appreciated.

2. Your Siblings

Your siblings have also always been there to support you, even if they didn't want to be. Your parents probably dragged them to every event they had to go to, or if they were older than you, your parents probably turned them into your chauffeur.

Thank them for being people you can look up to and for always being someone you can go to with even the smallest problems.

3. Your Teachers and Coaches

Every day your teachers left their families and children to make sure other children had an education and means to do what they love. Most of them end up spending more time with their students then their kids, so they start to love their students as if they were their own kids.

Watching you grow up is hard for them, even though you don't think it would be. They have watched you grow and have had just as much impact as anyone in shaping you into the person you are today.

4. Your Friends

These are the people who have stuck by you through the good, bad, and ugly, and for the first time in years, you likely won't be seeing each other every day. Thank them for always being there for you and for always offering a shoulder to lean on. Most high school friends lose touch no matter how hard they try not too, so make sure you thank them while you still have the chance.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
