It’s only a matter of days before I have to put on that navy blue cap and gown. When that moment comes, it’ll feel like whatever of my childhood that is left will slip through my fingers.
Before that happens, I really appreciate Ahlahasa taking me in as one of their staff writers for the very first and last time. The girls and teacher in this tight-knit class really make anyone feel welcome and a part of the team.
I’m grateful to ALHS because without it I wouldn’t have made all kinds of memories, lessons and friendships that I will carry with me through the rest of my life’s journey.
Wish me luck, hopefully I don’t trip while walking across the stage. *wink*

![“This [photo] is basically the same area,” said science teacher Todd Mikkelsen. “So that [the cover photo] was my photo at dusk. Here it is at night time and there’s something jetting up out of the ground. So it’s the same location, different dates, two different cameras picked up an anomaly in the same region.”](https://www.ahlahasa.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Ghost-Cover-1200x901.png)
