Hey everyone, it's Evan. After much consideration it was decided that I was to get the pleasure to write the last post and although I will finish with a poem I want to write first. This past month I have learned so much.
I've learned that everyone in this world is important. To appreciate the people living beneath the highway bridge. I've learned that I should follow my dreams. That friendship isn't just about the other person. I've learned that in order to open the jar you have to find the lid. That we can't ever stop trying to be appreciated but that we can appreciate ourselves. I've learned that music is all powerful. That even the most perfect plans can be flipped around. That we are infinite. Most importantly I've learned that I want to be a bubble.
This project was supposed to show that even though people are different they can come together to make something incredible. The blog was supposed to be that something, but I know that none of us really believe that's how it turned out. It is the friendship we created. Going into this I never imagined getting to know any of these people. I expected to write what I had to and be done. I didn't want friends. I didn't want to be bothered. I'd never really had good experiences with people who I got close with. It was always something bad. Backstabbing, hate, ignorance, unappreciation, something always turned me away from people. I was always alone.
With this project I've received more than a letter grade or a 'good job', I've received a group of people whom I can depend on. I've witnessed four people who are entirely different come together to form one being. We are no longer individuals. We are MEAD.
So now it is time for this project to end, but we never will. We are each others balances. When I am sad, Maria is there with optimism. When Dawn is feeling alone, we are there to remind her she is strong. When Alexander is losing sight of his aspirations, I am there with realism and support. We are equalizers to each other like ying and yang. So a thank you to Maria, Alexander, and Dawn, for being amazing parts of this project. And an even bigger thank you to Mrs. Brautigam, our teacher, for putting us together. Without this project who knows where we'd be... Maria would have no one to be a friend to. Dawn wouldn't have made up with Quinn. I wouldn't have found peace in myself. Alexander would have given up his dreams. When you look at it like that it is almost as though fate destined us for friendship. Now without further ado I give you my final poem.

to think what we'd have become.
Terrifying it is,
to think what we'd have become.
Smiling she is,
so happy and free.
But something is missing,
that she's yet to see.
He sits in his room,
a boy all alone.
They ignore him there,
so he sits like a stone.
His head is above,
his smile is bright.
Yet with one little offset,
nothing seems alright.
A struggle she faces,
her heart it is torn.
She must be a good friend,
she must for she's sworn.
So different they are,
so unlikely it be,
but when put together
these pieces are free.
Mystifying it is,
to think what we'd have become.
Terrifying it is,
to think what we'd have become.
So this isn't the end for anything but the blog. So I will finish this post with a sweet and sour goodbye...
Thanks,
Evan
