![autumnnight:
When the year first started, we thought we were perfect -united, a mix of talent, a family.Halfway through the year, I guess people started thinking differently. Honestly, I never did. The reason I held on to this thought for so long is because IVB has been [more of a family to me than my actual family has ever been]. I found real friends, confidantes, inspirations [those people who truly matter in my life] in this class.During that really hard time for me at the beginning of the year, especially after retreat, I felt so comfortable and so [free]. I finally let out my problems and you guys reached out and helped me through it. I’m so grateful for that. I got texts -messages telling me to keep strong. IVB really helped me through all the hardships I encountered the past year and this year [even if sometimes, they were part of my stress].The IVB boys taught me that it’s still possible for me, with my distrust and trauma of men, to look at a boy in a different perspective -that just because they’ve done some bad things doesn’t make them bad people, that it’s so easy to just go up to them and crack a joke, give them a hug, cry to them about my problems. They’ve shown me that not all boys are the way I’ve grown up with. I never thought I’d be able to have guy friends more than the number of eyes I have. These IVB boys -they’re [different]. I’ve found big brothers, close friends, confidantes and a “better half” in this class. The IVB girls taught me so many things; it’d be difficult to really list them all down and explain. They’ve pointed out the worst things about me but what makes this a good thing is that they said it to my face, to help me, to improve myself. They’ve taught me what it really is to be friends with someone, to be dedicated to something, to feel better about myself. Not all friendships with the girls have been perfect, but I suppose that made me stronger, made me able to fight for myself, gave me confidence and self worth. These girls gave me hope and made me feel like I was always home. Some of these girls became girls I look up to and my closest friends. A moment with every one of them became a learning experience.
I always cherish moments with them, boys and girls -they’re the kind I remember whilst a silly smile spreads across my face. My relationship has been wonderful -because it’s not all just the good. I spent the bad with them, too and I progressed along with them.I’m so thankful to this class. I’ve never felt so loved. Despite me being so loud and annoying, IVB still accepted me for that. They’ve become a fantastic part of my life. Any great things I’ll be doing in the future, I’ll never be able to do without you, IVB. A little part of whatever achievement will be for you, IVB -Visual Arts
I’m really never going to forget you guys [how can I, when I saved the thousands of pictures we have in my laptop?]. It’s so hard to say goodbye; It’s like you guys took hold of a part of me and made sure never to let go. So I’m doing the same thing. I’m not going to let go of you guys and even after I go away [October], when I leave, I’m taking the memory of the class that made me this person I am now with me. And when I come back, that memory will still be with me; we’re both coming back home. I’m going to do great things there and a part of that will be because of you guys. Thank you so, so much.So now the year’s ending, I still think the same thing. I still think there’s something that’s keeping us united. We are definitely a mix of talent. I’ll admit, we’re not perfect. Not even close. But families aren’t perfect and, at least to me, IVB is a family. A brilliant. Fantastic. Wonderful. Phenomenal family.I guess, if you don’t agree with me, then okay, IVB’s not a family.[IVB’s my family].
