Attempting to overlook the fact that this is our last time together, this picture across the street from the NCS dorm collects a sentimental last moment between separating friends (Aren Barranco ‘26 on the left and former NCS Gabo Ramirez-Lugo on the right). This was the night I stayed at the NCS dorm before they closed for the summer. This experience was needed because Gabo had told us just weeks earlier that he was transferring to a school in Connecticut for a better chance and getting far with soccer. “It’ll be okay, this isn’t goodbye but just see you later,” Gabo told me before he got on the bus the morning of the dorm closing. That night we did everything together, making sure we wouldn’t be able to say we wish we would have done this or that. As I watched that bus take the best friend I’ve ever met, my brother, drive off to start a new separate life, I tried to fight the feeling of sadness as I realized he’s gone.

Jacob JohnsonAbove left is a selfie I took while I was taking Driver's Ed over the summer. I used to have hair like in the picture above until around August 3. I decided to cut it when I realized I have to do too much in the mornings just for it to look decent. I'm Jacob Johnson, y'all's new classmate. This is my 1first year at NCS, I am a Jjunior, and I am 15 years old. I was born and raised in Roanoke, but I went to Salem until this year. Can you tell I love black and red? Archives
