This is the last piece of writing I will do for the Rebellion.

  That’s really disappointing, honestly, because I have had an awesome four years here. To me, high school has been a place where I can express myself, learn and succeed in an environment that I sincerely enjoy existing in. Sure, it hasn’t always been smooth, but I’ve always kept a strong feeling for this community.

  And, in the end, school is a place to learn, so I figured I’d list some things that I’ve learned during my time here at SKHS.

▪ A vast majority of the teachers here do the best they can, and the majority of those teachers are very good at their job.

▪ The administrators in this school are actually nice people, and they all try to make this school as safe a place as possible. They do a pretty good job, and things have definitely picked up in my four years.

▪ Attending sports events and being an active crowd member always ensures a good time.

▪ The school newspaper does actually matter.

▪ Getting involved in clubs and participating in class are the best ways to meet people.

▪ If you’re going to make an extra credit video for Humanities, don’t wear a fake pair of breasts bought at a costume shop.

▪ Doing announcements is a lot of fun.

▪ ’09 is fine.

▪ Really, seriously, don’t be an idiot. If for nothing else,  it almost always comes back to bite you. Think about what you’re doing. Take into consideration the Man Question, which really started out innocently and became the biggest scandal of my high school career.

▪ In a world where technology is increasingly used, watch out for things that could get you in trouble.

▪ For instance, if you’re a guy, wearing a thong and nothing else, don’t let anyone take a picture.

▪ Girls are just as smart as guys.

▪ Chartwells employees are cool people if you get to know them.

▪ The same goes for janitors.

▪ We live in a very left-leaning town in a very left-leaning state, but this doesn’t make anyone’s views less important or intelligent. Really listen to them, because a lot of people here won’t.

▪ If you get in trouble, be honest. Most of the authorities want to help you if you’re willing to receive it.

▪ I love South Kingstown High School.

Thanks for it all.
