Seasons in the Sun


Seasons In The Sun

Good bye to you my trusted friend
We've known each other
Since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
learned of love and ABCs
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees

Good bye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are
Singing in the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
Were just seasons out of time


Finishing high school can pose at least two opposing emotions: the sorrow for what one is going to lose (or not go through again) and the excitement of a new beginning, in a new environment and with different people.

The stanzas above are from the song "Seasons in the Sun", which partly depicts the feelings of a person who is just about to leave. After you read (you can also listen to it and read the whole lyrics at the sites below) pls ...
express what you think you will miss mostly when you finish school,
comment on YOUR feelings at this point of your life towards those who have accompanied you throughout your school years,
or else tell what memories of the days you spent with your friends are dearest to you.

WELCOME TO SHARE & GROW

Well, time has come at last for all of us to meet in this new and exciting site. The point that you should keep in mind is that here we all will have a chance to share ideas, experiences and dreams, at least till the end of the year... A year which has certainly been special for each of you, and for the class as a whole. You still have so many other moments to go through and so much more to face... that´s why I consider that it would be great to keep this "place" as a little nook for us all, where you can express all your expectations, recall old and recent school memories, as well as do some other stuff for the class. You should find this as a safe and open site for discussion, self-exploration and, again, SHARING. This is just... specially for YOU.
