Farewells are always a bittersweet affair.
You laugh, have fun, cry, and feel sad!!
It is indeed a rollercoaster of emotions. Who thought times would fly this fast? You entered the classrooms as strangers, curious about what lay ahead.
These are the people who held your hands and guided you throughout.
They are the ones who lent you their notes, stood by you when the things got tough.
