With my senior year coming to a close, I have begun to look back on a fabulous year at Bethlehem Catholic.

I simply cannot believe, nor can many of my fellow classmates and long-time friends, that our time as a Golden Hawk is almost up. The 2014-2015 school year really kicked off with a blast. My final year all began with an amazing pep rally and homecoming dance, the Hawks dominating in football and my last year as a varsity field hockey player. That now seems like it was ages ago.

This year at Becahi was filled with faith, friendship and an all around superb time. I used to beg for high school to be over,, but now I have a very different outlook. I question what life will be like without seeing my favorite teachers every day or joking around my best friends. The halls at Bethlehem Catholic feel like home to me, and with less than 50 days left until graduation, I am filled with a bittersweet sadness.

I know I will go on to do big things and hopefully continue to write, but I cannot go forward with out looking back at where I've been and how every person at Bethlehem Catholic HS helped me to be the woman I am today.

A commitment to excellence, a strong moral code and a fabulous place to learn and grow are all ways I would sum up Becahi.

It has truly been a privilege to receive an education there.

I remember that first day of high school so clearly, as I am sure many of you do as well. It was a sweltering hot day; I was wearing my usual brown kilt and nervously walked in the place where I would remain for four tremendous years. I was greeted with smiles and happy welcomes. I could feel a real sense of community the minute I had arrived.

I believe that Bethlehem Catholic simply has made me who I am today, and I will never forget all the people and memories that go along with it.

From dances to proms, from school to sports, from freshman to senior year, Becahi has remained my home.

When thinking of ideas for what to write my last article on, there was really only one option: discussing how much Bethlehem Catholic inspired me to use my full potential and become who I am.

With prom, finals then graduation right around the corner I have become restless and yearn for a simple time where I prayed to leave school and just go to college.

Most of us wish we could go back and change time, but we can't. I like to hope that I made every day of my four years really count. Maybe I helped a classmate or brightened someone's day, whatever it is I hope that I will be remembered at Becahi as much as I will remember it.

To every member of the staff, faculty and especially my teachers, thank you for all that you have done to help me on my journey. We truly are BC!
