Goodbye, my fellow Scoopers. I am leaving the school once and for all. Starting June 13th, you are most likely not going to see me again until our paths meet again.
Of course, with a chance of getting news from the Abington School District and some public news, maybe I could be allowed to email the one and only Mr. Rothstein and continue writing for this school until 8th grade. It wouldn’t be the same experience, and I am very sorry, but my dad got a new job as a pastor, meaning that we need to move to Rockledge, right outside of Philly and inside the Abington School District.
If you are in a Montco Band or Jazz Band, I hope to see you there, but otherwise, see you never! Farewell!
As of this recording, I have __ articles in CMS Scoop, and though some of these series didn’t always end, if you enjoyed them, I give full permission for anybody to work on them! Please do. I would love to see what people come up with and what they think.
I haven’t started on Middle School yet, so anyone can start that. I haven’t ended The Quantum Apocalypse: 2074, and if anybody thinks they could maybe start Season 2 of Figurative Language and Myths that Can End the World or The Last Turkey, go ahead and do it! Even Weird News and What in the World? will be available!
If there is an extension of a story you enjoyed, or a different route a story could take, just go ahead and do it. As a Scooper, I enjoy other people’s work, and I can almost guarantee that I am going to read these in 7th grade at Abington.
I wish I was here to stay, but I will always be with you in spirit. Unless I can somehow make it back and maybe go for a second year in Colonial, this is the end of the road for me.
Looking back, it’s hard to believe how much I’ve accomplished through my five years in the Colonial School District. As one final memory, I would like to thank all the people who helped me accomplish this: my fans (if I have any), my co-workers (if I have any), my friends (if I have any), and the many people who banded together to help me and cheer me on.
Teachers, friends, pains-in-the-butt (if you know, you know), people who used to not consider me a friend, fellow classmates, great band directors, trumpeters, the unforgettable CMS Scoop community, and more—thank you.
And to the people who were cheering against me, such as annoying people, pains-in-the-butt (other pains-in-the-butts), people who thought I was annoying, and my competition—thank you, too. You helped me get ready for the world. You showed me what it was like to feel pain, agony, and discomfort.
You can’t make the whole world like you, but you can at least try. And that’s what I tried to do.
It wasn’t easy. It’s a lot like wearing a shirt that says one message and then flipping it inside out to reveal a message that contradicts the first one. It isn’t easy. Sometimes you have to act differently so as not to offend others.
The people who didn’t like me may have had reasons for not enjoying me, and that makes me want to improve.
So thank you to all, and farewell.
