    As we go on
    We remember
    All the times we
    Had together
    And as our lives change
    Come whatever
    We will still be
    Friends forever

    @Daniel Wilson: The teacher must abide my a rigorous process of awarding grades based on multiple factors. I should know as I’m a teacher currently in the process of awarding predicted grades for my own students. Those who haven’t lifted a finger over the past two years are likely to fail.
