CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas \u2014 Veterans Memorial High School seniors experienced an emotional moment as they returned to their former school, Mireles Elementary, for the traditional “Senior Walk.”<\/p>\n
Dressed in cap and gown, the soon-to-be graduates walked the halls where it all began, greeted by applause and cheers from students and teachers.<\/p>\n
Many said the moment reminded them of how much they have grown and everything they have overcome to reach their senior year.<\/p>\n
“The simple fact of being back here and seeing how the environment has definitely changed, and how much I have actually changed… It really takes me back; it makes me feel like I’m a kid again,” Michael DeLuna, a Veterans Memorial senior, said.<\/p>\n
For others, the return brought fond childhood memories shared with classmates.<\/p>\n
“It feels great, because we all share memories. And I just remember playing with everyone during recess; it’s really very nice,” Isabella Deases, a Veterans Memorial student, said.<\/p>\n
These types of activities will continue throughout the week at various elementary schools.<\/p>\n
Veterans Memorial High School’s graduation will be Saturday, May 30, at the Hilliard Center.<\/p>\n
