As freshmen we looked at the seniors and said, &quot;someday that will be me.&quot; As seniors we look at the freshmen and ask, &quot;wasn&#039;t that just yesterday?&quot;<br /> -Sammie Loue

Listen to her

The way she speaks

The passion and the pain

The stories she tell

And the dreams she weaves

Watch her

Hands that move faster and faster

Her eyes light up

And when she blushes she looks at her feet

Talk to her

And wait for the smiles

Enjoy the laughter
