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 dieWhen all the birds are
Singing in the sky
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.

As friendship is something very subjective, my point of view can be described with two words:NEVER ENDS. It is true that as time pass, we have already lived a lot of wonderful moments at school or mybe at diferent places but the truth is that they will never leave my mind. Sometimes it is sad to think that the next year everybody will continue his/her own way, but something common will stay with us: the diferent moments we've shared toguether, which will allways persists in our hearts. Because of this I want to say that I would never change my yaers of school, they were great years toguether with marvellous memories; I would never forget you! =)
Now that I am almost finishing school, I experiment two different feelings:
I`m afraid of this change because it is a huge one and I don�t know what university will be like. I am accustomed to be every day surrounded with my friends in a place where I feel comfortable and safe. I have very closed friends in school so I love sharing everything with them. When I am upset I receive love and contention from them without asking for it; and when I am happy they share that great time with me. There are also these friends that I like very much but I don�t have a very closed relationship so I love meeting them at school and I know that at university, this contact with them will be less. At school we are entertained and there is always something to talk about and laugh, that�s why I love going to it.
On the other hand, I feel that at university I will be more independent, I will have more time and I will grow up in a more mature way. I will always have great memories of my friends that were always near me trying to make me happy, and I can say that they did it. My last trip and lot of anecdotes since I went to kinder garden will be always in my mind and they will help me to continue in life. I really enjoyed going to school because I found important people that now are essential in my life and it helped me to get an objective to live for.
From my point or view, the ending of high school doesn t mean the end of friendship. Fortunately I foud most of my friends throw all these years at school, and I am sure they will continue being my friens.
Moments never get out of our minds, specially if they are with friend. Since kingergarden I so to the same school as many of my classmates, and we have many anecdotes together as many trips we have done with the school.
This song is great and shows the importance of friendship. Althoug next years will not be the same, each one will be in a different place every day and study different careers, I know that real friendship never ends!
