So, lately, I feel like everything I type has the words "final" in front of it: "Final Podcast" or "Final Senior Project Reflection" or "Final Graduation Dress Decision" (don't laugh, that struggle was real). My point is, though, I really have the sense of everything coming to an end now. My senior project is over-- something that is very surreal for me, considering Madi and I have been planning this since September.
As I'm writing this final reflection or review or whatever of our project ( for which, by the way, I feel we have received veerrryy little guidance), I'm being hit with the realization that we're actually leaving, and these words that I'm typing are some of the last I'll type for the cause of a passing grade at Hawken School. I'm not being sentimental (for once), I just genuinely think it would be a shame to completely disregard my final assignment, so to speak, for Hawken.
On the same note, though, it seems like a shame that my final contribution to Hawken is entirely about something that has nothing to do with my Hawken experience. My senior project was the least-Hawken-like thing I did in my entire high school career, and rather than reflecting on my four years, and giving underclassmen advice for how to really appreciate their last year as a Hawken student, instead I'm spending my time writing about something that I did in an entirely different city for a pass/fail grade that has everything to do with my future and nothing to do with the past four years. That's what really seems like a shame to me.
