extraordinary seniors with extraordinary talents

Sophomore Luau was this past weekend, and my friends were scheduled to play at it. (Auana) Sophomores heard many hawaiian songs by local artists they knew well being played. I always find them jamming during breaks outside of the library with the ukes and singing for everyone to hear. Not only do they sing and play the uke, but one of the guys are starting to write his own music. When he asks for help on what to put into his chorus, it feels accomplishing. It's like, I took part in his process of song writing! My friend and I were discussing the whole idea of the group Auana, and thought it'd be a really good idea for them to make a CD and give it to all of their friends when they graduate. Comprised on the CD would be songs they regularly sang and liked, and ones they wrote. We all knew how talented they were in what they were doing, so we assumed it would be a success. When a whole bunch of us are just sitting around on the benches outside playing and listening to the harmonizing boys, we know we will all miss just being in everyones presence once we all graduate and leave the high school setting. As my senior year slowly comes to a close, I've realized that there is more than a handful of students who are so talented in my grade. From the skilled athletes, to the musicians, to the speech and debate teams, to the intellectual individuals, we are the ones who've made our grade, the class of 2007 a huge success throughout the years we've been here.
