Charge to the Class of 2018: Do Hard Things

Hey!!! Its me (@arkie_paten) again?? The last thing i wanted to share with you guys is some photos from my final trimester at @kentshillschool :spring. A bittersweet end to the year with so many fun events like prom (Pic 1 is at prom with the other ASSIST scholars) the awards ceremony and graduation. This trimester most people (especially seniors) are less stressed out and we did so many fun things to make the most of our last weeks together. I went out to an island off the coast of Maine (pic 2)with some friends one weekend (even though the weather was horrible!), went fishing at a friends house on the lake (pic 3). As the weather warmed up we finally shed our winter coats and spent our evenings outside on the gorgeous campus(pic 4), watching the sunset over the mountains from the hill (pic 5). Leaving Kents Hill and my friends and “family” was really hard and induced a lot of tears, but I am saving up to come back to visit as soon as I can! #weareassist #insideassist #assist #scholars #kentshillschool
