Yesterday was one of the toughest days in my entire life. Saying goodbye to a place that has become my second home and the people who have become my extended family was never going to be easy, but I had never imagined it would be as heartbreaking as it was.
Over the past five years I've spent at Belvoir High so much of me has changed, I feel more confident, more mature, more accepted and more able to make my own decisions about where I want this life to go. The circle of friends I met in my time there are the most amazing people I could have ever wished to meet, forget celebrities, meeting friends who are as true as mine is the real honour and pleasure. Unknowingly I entered the school seeking a great perhaps- and I think I found it and found myself. They say the high school days are the best in your life. Part of me wants to believe this is true because I've had an incredible time, the other half of me doesn't because my high school days are at their end now.
I'm ready to move on to the next chapter of my life, but this chapter has been the one with the twisty-turny plots, the time where the main character discovers how the pieces of the puzzle fit together, and the one you know will always be a key to the finished book. Some of my friends will join me next year at the same sixth and we shall continue in education with each other, but to those who have chosen to start the next stage separatly I wish them the best of luck and know that although our days together at Belvoir High are over our friendship is not.
I'll never foget yesterday. It will be one of those days close to my heart until the day I die, because the sense of unity so lacking in todays modern world was present in the hearts of every year 11. We laughed at the same memories, hugged each other in a fond reminder of friendship, cried at the same prospect of change, gave applause to those who had made our years worthwhile, and found happiness in the good luck messages of others. It was a rare moment...a moment that makes life valuable.
Away from contemplating the meaning of life which is a bit too deep for early saturday morning. I also had a great time celebrating the end of an era with all my best friends present. We went for a lovely meal and discussed a range of topics, rainbows actually being circular, the looks of a certain waitor, hot nerds, the possibitlity of alien life, and the rapture which is supposedly going to happen today (not!) It was the best send off for our time so far with each other possible.

Sorry for the length of todays blog, I just needed to express myself upon this monumental time.
To finish I will leave you all with this...

Good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant. - 11th Doctor
This quote basically sums up the memories of Belvoir, there were highs and lows-the lows never ruined the good memories but were not appreciated at the time, however the lows were needed to make me who I am today just as much as the indescribable highs.
Goodbye Belvoir, thanks for everything.
(Well okay I'll be back on tuesday to take an exam but things won't be the same!)
