Timberlane is an interesting school and it’s honestly pretty weird. I think we all can agree that certain things could be improved to make the school better. But there are a lot of people just saying the school is a lot worse than it actually is causing other people to agree, which leads to this school being generally disliked by the students at times. I personally don’t understand why the school is hated so much. This school has provided so much to me. So let me say this thank you to everyone at Timberlane that has made this experience more than I imagined while being here.
A few of the teachers I vividly remember making this school better are, Mr. Richman, Mr. O’loughlin, and my counselor Mrs. Jeffords. Without you three, I probably wouldn’t even be able to graduate.
Mr. Richman, you helped me spark my interest in history that I never thought I would enjoy, I wish I could invade your classes next year but alas I cant. Mr. O, you helped me break out of my shell because of the interviews I was forced to do if I wanted to write my other few articles. I will admit at first I thought being forced to interview people in and out of school was stupid, as I didn’t like talking to people I didn’t know. I’m shocked how much I improved over this single year with my confidence as well as my writing abilities. Finally, thank you Mrs. Jeffords. You helped me during the hardest parts of my school year, especially after I lost multiple family members in the same month. She helped encourage me to finish even if it wasn’t gonna be an amazing finish it was still something to be proud of especially with the unfortunate events that took place.
To the one club I was a part of, I’m glad I was a part of it. Geek club didn’t sound that interesting at first, and I always thought I could spend my time better. I never could be more wrong in my life though. The time I spent there with my friends enjoying playing DND every Tuesday after school was the best. There are so many memorable moments from just my friends and from the whole club together that I will cherish. Please, to anyone reading this who thinks about joining the club or any club in general but doesn’t know if they will like it: just try it for one day and if you like it continue going. Don’t let anything or anyone stop you from enjoying what you want, this includes forcing yourself to continue what you like.
This section is dedicated to my CTE teacher Mrs. Deveau, who I thought I never would connect with as I took that CTE course as the one I wanted was unavailable at the time. If it wasn’t for my sister who took your class previously I wouldn’t have bothered with CTE, and I never would have experienced the best 2 classes I ever took. I will admit I may not be the best at Graphic Design but I sure did enjoy that class like no ever class before, you personally connected to each and every one of us made us all feel like we belonged and made sure we all ended up being able to ask for help when we needed it. The gifts you gave all of us leaving really touched my heart and I can’t wait to see what I will do with what you taught me, and I plan to never forget either.
Once again, thank you Timberlane. I really hope others keep this adventure with them. Now a thank you to the readers. It means a lot that you chose to read mine out of everyone else’s, so thanks. To the teachers I forgot, I’m sorry. Most of you made an impact, I’m sure of it, but I have the memory of a goldfish (sorry).
This was the best adventure ever and it will be one of the ones I hope to remember forever, but now its time to say goodbye and move on.
