Hello everyone, Well ~*CLASS OF 2002*~ 12 years has finally come to a close... For some of us these 12 years have gone too fast and yes, for some of us the years have gone to slow. From the first day jitters of grade 1 to the tears of leaving grade 12, our whole life has been occupied by school and its environment. But now we are venturing into the adult world,  no longer having teachers to keep us in line, students to keep us down or classrooms that act as jails. The future is a scary yet liberating experiance. But we cannot progress forward into the future without remembering the past. I will always remember the laughter I have experianced with friends who I met by chance, by fun, and even by fate. I am blessed that I have such a strong group of friends to leave Iona with and I feel I would not be the person I am today without you all... Don't forget where you've come from Don't forget where you've been Don't forget the times we've shared Don't forget the smiles we've seen Remember the teachers who brought you up Remember the days we accomplished fears Remember your family who loves your soul Remember the days we wiped away tears Search for truth in the great big world Search for the people who really care And if you really search hard enough You will find your friends are still there...  I truely and deeply love you all and I will always cherish the times we have had... Yours sincerely, Matty Backer (Friday 15/11/2002)
