It's always difficult to say goodbye to something you've loved, lived, and are surely going to miss. But all good things have an ending, and it's our job to make it happy and memorable. Sometimes, we may end up living in the past, wishing that it wasn't over that soon. We may never be able to move on. And most importantly, we'll have an emptiness within us, for a very very long time.
I once had to part from my childhood friends, because of my father's work transfer. I cursed my destiny. I felt lost, and missed each one of them. But later, I made even more friends, great friends, to whom I have to say goodbye now.
Kolkata had been a difficult place to settle in, but those difficulties made it memorable. My last session in school, grade 10th, was perhaps one of the most enjoyable years of my life. Earlier, I used to run behind achievements, all sorts of achievements. Only later did I realize, that for true happiness, it's more important to have friends than certificates.
Almost a year ago, I started my journey on one of the most feared years of school life, grade 10. I truly had no idea I would end up having to say goodbye to all my classmates today. Like every other year, there were fights, disagreements, anger, fun, respect and sometimes jealousy. But what was great this year, was the friendship, and the bonding.
Despite all the problems, tension, competition, quarrels etc., if God granted me a wish today, I think I'd want to relive this past year. Thank you all for making it so memorable and so special. Most of you are going to join school tomorrow, while I sit at home, watching several people go home during dispersal. (Yes, I'm unemployed)

Like Gwen Stacy said,
"The future is and should
be bright, but,
like our brief years in
school,
what makes life valuable
is that it doesn't last forever,
what makes it precious is that it ends.
I know it feels like we're saying goodbye,
but we will carry a piece of each other into everything that we do next,
to remind us of who we are, and of who we're meant to be. "
