Last Night of Sneak

By Jiheon No

Some hastening and some walking, we the seniors entered the conference room provided by the resort for the last night's gathering of senior sneak. With a mix of laughter and chatter, one by one we sat around, coming to silence, in a circle for a time of reflecting back on our life and looking ahead into what is about to come. 

The session began with an acoustic worship led by Juyoung, Haeon, and Tim. With some harmonization, the whole senior class sang together the words of praise and thankfulness after a fun and exhausting day out in the sun. This worship session was especially special as there was no other time when only the seniors gathered together for a worship service. One song that really was meaningful to the whole class was Oceans by Hillsong UNITED:

 “You call me out upon the waters

The great unknown where feet may fail

And there I find You in the mystery. 

In oceans deep my faith will stand”. 

Since we will be going out to the world, now independent, we will be vulnerable to the oblivious future so these lyrics from the song really talked to our class.

Next, for around forty minutes, we had an individual time to reflect and write personal notes about our own life through a question the ExCom had come up with. The questions mainly focused on the past, present, and future experiences of our life that did and will happen.

To end the night session, our class had a moment to write down notes of thanks and encouragement to each other, to whom we would be saying farewell to in less than 2 months. Each person had a paper hung onto the behind of their neck so that everyone could go around and write to each other. We formed a chain to write to our friends for over an hour which was nowhere close to being enough  us to write everything we felt towards each other. Some cried in tears and some hugged and exchanged thanks. 

This night made us look back at the memories and friendships that formed over the years and made us really treasure the fun, exciting, hard, and sad times we spent together. It helped us to organize all the jumble of thoughts we have about the future and reflect on our lives and be thankful for what we have. This was a night we the senior class will never forget.
