Hello! My name is Sylvia Fill I am a senior here at Chardon and my senior project is a video dedicated to the entire senior class set to the song Are We Still Young by Grant, featuring vocals by Jessi Mason. This song is about the wonders of being a kid, the uncertainties of growing up, and optimism for the future, topics which I think are important to all of the senior class.

The video consists of images submitted by the senior class themselves, including as many of them as possible, video shot at home and at school by me, and pictures taken by G-TV and Mr. Murray of the senior class from throughout this year. ENJOY!

Happy Mother's Day

Love you, mom!

After everything you've done for me — the opportunities you've handed me, the countless mood swings you've endured from me, the life you've given up for me — I'm supposed to send you a card with flowers, and that's supposed to be enough?

Flowers, cards and massage gift certificates do not get my point across. Taking you out to dinner won't do it justice. Buying you balloons isn't going to inflate my point. All of it seems so… trite.

A Hallmark card won't ever be able to explain exactly why I love you.
​
Exactly why I'm proud to call you my mom. Exactly how grateful I am for you.
Instead, I'll just tell you.

I'll tell you exactly why I respect you, not try and fit it into some two-by-two-inch card.

I will tell you exactly what I should say every day of every month of every year. I'll tell you exactly why I love you.
  • Your contagious laugh
  • How you would always read to me every night
  • Your welcoming smile and how you make me smile
  • The kindness you show everyone even if they don’t deserve it
  • The sacrifices you’ve made so you could give me everything
  • Because you taught me to be a better person
  • How I know you’ll always be there for me no matter what
  • How you lead by example and inspire me to be so much
  • How you go out of your way to help others
  • Your passion for life; even if you have a rough day you keep going
  • Whenever I need a hand, you’re always will to lend me yours
  • Your delicious cooking
  • How you do so very much, but never ask for anything in return
  • You’re always there to cheer me on and give me encouragement when it’s needed most
  • Your warm loving hugs
  • You taught me that it’s okay to laugh at yourself and make mistakes
  • Because you gave me life and brought me into this world
  • Most of all… I love you for who you are and who you’ve helped me become… you’re my role model, my mother and my friend

Happy Mother's Day to all of our CHS Moms!
