As each day passes and the class of 2017 graduation date quickly approaches, I feel more and more nostalgic. Once very excited for the prospect of freedom and college, the more I think back on my time at Dominion I realize how much I will miss it, and the people that made my time here enjoyable.

At Dominion, I learned a great deal of things. The most important of which is always doing things that I loved. From juggling extra classes with zero period, playing school and club sports, and being a part of many clubs and volunteer organizations, high school was definitely the busiest, but most fun, time of my life so far.

By far one of my favorite activities in school has been Newspaper. For that I have to thank Mallory Williamson, who, as a second semester freshman, convinced me to take newspaper the following year. I have been in many extracurricular classes that would have allowed me to follow up with it for all four years of high school, but nothing was interesting enough to hold my attention, until I found my place in the newspaper class. Countless memories were made in L620, and I wouldn’t have traded my experience in Newspaper, and just at Dominion in general, for anything.
