Reminiscing About Byram by Sara B.

As my final year at Byram is coming to a close, the days are swiftly zipping by.  It is odd-the more I am here, the more I don’t want to leave.  As adolescents, all we want to do is leave middle school, grow up and move on.  It seems that graduation day is something my peers and I are both looking forward to and dreading.  As the year closes out, I am thinking about all of the teachers and activities I will be leaving behind here.  Although it is bittersweet leaving, Byram Intermediate is our safe place, and it will terrifying and exciting to take that security blanket off.

Being here for four years, no one can deny we have had good days, bad days, exciting days, stressful days, happy days, and so many in between.  We spent a huge chunk of our childhood in this school.  Saying goodbye is going to be very difficult, but again I know the security blanket just needs to be taken off.  The teachers here have molded me into the student I have always strived to be, and no matter what, they always wanted me to succeed. Byram Intermediate created my love for language arts, writing, track, reading, and all things academic.  The amazing teachers here have always told me not to give up.  I know I will meet new teachers who will inspire me, but some of the ones here will always have a special place.

Now that I look back on Byram, I should have enjoyed it more it seems.  Eighth grade went by very quickly and was personally my favorite.  Graduating is going to be bittersweet, but my time here at Byram is up, and I will always have the amazing memories here.  As we all get rid of our security blankets and move on, we will never forget our years here at Byram.  Thank you to everyone who helped make my years here memorable and incredible!
