The Uproar

Carly DeArmit
The days are long, but the years are short. I’ve never believed anything more than I do that line, especially now as I embark on my next adventure. There’ll be nights filled with notes spread across the floor and you wondering how you’re going to make it. And there’ll be mornings you forgot to do your calc assignment. But, it’s all going to work out. It’s hard believing, but I promise it will. Soak it all in, those little moments with friends at lunch or smiles from teachers in the hallway. Whether or not you believe it now, you’re going to miss it -- this place, these people, calling yourself a Tiger, all of it. The year ahead of you will be one of the best of your life. I know it was for me, and I’m forever grateful to North Allegheny for that.
