Page 26 Coda The Clarion \ May 21,2020 A Thoughtful Goodbye Well... that’s it - it’s over - finished. There seems to be some empty space where our goodbyes should have gone. So many great times we shared, and memories that will last a lifetime. I never knew the mountains would feel so far away. I never knew familiar faces would feel like distant memories. I miss the classroom - we all miss it. No one expected things to be interrupted. I miss learning around like-minded people. Being a student will mean more than ever before. Let’s move forward, not backward. From now on, things will be different. There will have to be some changes - change is scary but necessary. It’s how we grow and learn. No one is ever prepared for change. What matters most is how we react. What can we learn from this? How can we make it better? What’s the best outcome for everyone? How can we get past this? There is no ignoring this; don’t try to deny something that damaged so many people. The future is still a mystery. We can overcome anything if we work together. There is no one to blame, but it’s easy to take out frustration on those who are trying their best. In these times, let us learn to have patience. Good things don’t happen overnight and pointing fingers won’t get us anywhere. We all need to take some time to heal and to take care of ourselves in order to put our best foot forward for next year, and the years to come. Learn from the past, but don’t live in it. We cannot revert to what we once were before. We need to learn how to adapt to this new life we were all forced to have. For everyone that has been doing their part keeping the remaining of the semester going - thank you. Thank you for being there when we couldn’t be there in person. Thank you for keeping everyone on the same page. Thank you for still wanting to educate us and care for us. We all, in the end, made history and showed the true spirit of Brevard College. —Mickayla Smith Watching the sunrise at Pretty Piace (spring 2020). (Courtesy of Emiiie Fowier)
