Hello my fellow classmates, I am Egosselin24. Maybe some of you know me, maybe you don’t and maybe I have known some of you for a long time and or maybe I have known some of you for a short period of time. I am not the smartest person nor am I the most funny person to write this essay but my mom always told me I was indeed not the most school smart but I was smarter in other ways but I have yet to find those so I think she was just saying that to make me feel smarter. The important thing to know is that we have gone through this horrible time of our lives but also great times of our lives together. I have made memories that I hope I will never forget for the rest of my life but also I have learned a lot from a lot of you.
