We Change Together

Life is all about change. This growth is part of high school. Everyone has experienced those hot summer days where the only way to cool off is to go to the river, often stopping at the rope swing or turtle to mess around with friends and have a good time. Change is transitioning from that last day of summer to the first day at school. From that first day of freshman year, trying to memorize the map of the school and getting lost daily to getting the hang of it even if it took until senior year. Adapting sophomore year when some of us begin driving, and some of us still haven’t quite passed the test. It is going through summer, fearing the return of heavy backpacks and new school supplies sales. Wanting to go back to the hot weather and then complaining about the heat as we sit in the hot classrooms all day.
However, all this change does not alter our process. We will still stay up late to finish that project due tomorrow morning. We all dream for the day of graduation, even as freshmen. All the learning, summer activities, and occasional procrastination make us who we are. All these experiences teach us life lessons and mold us into who we are, leaving behind memories of how we got here.
Cambio represents that things are not always the same while embracing our school’s diversity. Cambio, which means “I change,” symbolizes we change individually, and Cambiamos means “we changed” because we have all gone through this together. Although we change in our own time and way, we learn similar lessons. Life changes and brings you to new places. This is where you have grown and that is worth remembering.
