I would like to shout out my friend Sebastian Muñoz. He's one of the kindest and most caring people I know. He's hilarious, he's accepting, and has such a warm and friendly demeanor that people can't help but find amazing. He's very talented, especially in art (even though he's always humble about it). I laugh all the time around him, and despite only meeting him a year ago, I feel that he's one of my best friends, and I'm forever grateful to have met him and the rest of my group.

Alicia Marte Hernandez, I’m so grateful I met you in gym class this year. You are one of the sweetest, most hardworking, and dedicated people I’ve met, and I admire how much effort and passion you put into everything you do. You always have such a kind heart and positive energy thats uplifting- I know those qualities are going to take you so far in life. I can’t wait to watch you thrive and accomplish amazing things at American University, you deserve it all <3 No matter where life takes us after graduation, I’ll always appreciate our friendship and all the laughs and memories we’ve made this year!! I look forward to making more memories together this summer.

A huge thank you to Ms. Coleman-Cruz for helping guide me through my early graduation journey and always being there whenever I had questions or needed reassurance about school or my personal life. Your support, kindness, and encouragement really made such a stressful process feel manageable. I’m so grateful for everything that you’ve done for me the past 3 years and cant wait to see you at grad!!

Thank you, Ms. Rouantree, for welcoming me into The Banner even though I joined later into high school and still trusting me from the very beginning. I’m so grateful for all the support, encouragement, and opportunities you continue to give me while contributing to the newspaper. Thank you for always pushing us to do our best while also creating such a welcoming and creative environment. I’ll always appreciate the memories, lessons, and experiences I’ve gained through The Banner because of you!!

TO ONE OF TWO BEST FRIENDS: Kimberly Delcid, YOU ARE SO AWESOME !!! SOOO KIND, and genuinely one of the funniest people ever, your daily outfits are so fire and you’re so fun to be around!! Your inner and outer beauty GLOW and I already know you're destined for great things :3 ILYSM and you're genuinely one of my best friends ever!! I know after high school you're going to have such an awesome life and I really hope I'm in it forever. When I first met you I was like “who is this girl bro..” but little did I know, the girl I started playing uno with would one day become someone I'd hold so dear to my heart. A seemingly random encounter led me to you. Truly, I can't imagine my life without you. I genuinely can't even put into words how much you mean to me, because words cannot even begin to vaguely come close to describing who you are and what you mean not only to me, but everyone around you. SO finally I'd like to say, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for being present in my life and being my friend <3

TO ONE OF TWO BEST FRIENDS: WIZARDLY WONDERFUL WASIAN WAVERLY WEI WILLIS. I love your name lol, and I love how sweet you are and how much of an amazing friend you've been to me. When I first met you in history class, way before we became friends, I thought you looked like a fairy!! AND YOU ARE ONE. You're so beautiful, and not ONLY on the outside, your inner beauty is INSANE, it literally outshines the sun at times and it genuinely boggles my mind how someone as great as you exists. One thing about you is that you leave an impression on literally everyone you meet. You make people feel comfortable because you have this really warm and inviting energy about you that makes everything feel lighter. Your presence alone makes the people around you happy. I feel like your friendship has changed the course of my life for the better. Being friends with you genuinely makes life brighter and you inspire me to be a better version of myself. Sometimes I can't believe that someone like you exists, let alone as my FRIEND?! I never thought I'd be lucky enough to have someone as cool as you in my life! So finally I want to say, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, AND THANK YOU AGAIN for being in my life and being my friend <3

Dear Vaibhav, I haven't known you for long, but I've known you enough to know you're someone I look up to. The car ride back to my house when you dropped me home, you gave me such notable information & advice that helped me a lot in my thought process about my future. You're such a funny person, like the random things you did would genuinely make everyone laugh. Thanks so much for being an amazing senior, helping me out, & being so chill. You will forever be a role model to me. Alright peace, KDrizzy out.
