Thank you all for a wonderful year. You didn't make it easy on me in 7th grade (and I never made it easy on you!) but I can honestly say I've never felt so connected to a class as I have with you guys. This last week was really tough me for me. I'm going to miss you all more than you can imagine. I can't wait to here all the incredible things you accomplish in life. Remember what I've taught you. Remember what your parents have taught you. Remember who you are. Remember what you believe. Life will do a ton to get you off your path. Don't let it happen. You're worth it.

I love you,

Mr. Roughton
