As I approach the twenty-sixth of May

And the lessons and learning near their end
I grin at the changes coming my way
As I choose the college I will attend
I await finding my future career
I feel the thrill of moving somewhere new
My plans for the future fill me with cheer
As I leave behind the life I once knew
But I am also filled with great despair
When I think of leaving LaSalle behind
I am grateful for the love, faith, and care
That LaSalle has enabled me to find
I have learned that although life must go on
LaSalle is here, even when I am gone

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
