Graduation season is almost here, and soon I'll be saying goodbye to Monwo. It's truly hard to part! These past three years have had their share of setbacks and difficulties, but more importantly, I've received a lot of help from teachers and classmates. I've gained friendships that will last a lifetime, and I hope the school continues to thrive!
