Finally graduation is just around the corner. "
Adding on Sarah Jackson, Vanguard senior, said, " I'm really upset about having to leave Vanguard. I have been here for so long it feels weird that it is almost over. But the possibilities of college make me excited about starting this new chapter of my life. I will miss what I have to leave behind but I will embrace the future with open arms."
Many of us thought graduation was not even a possibility. Vanguard made it a reality. Vanguard student, Marissa Sneider, said, "I'm sad about graduation but I am also happy. Vanguard is like a second family but its time to move forward."
