Good for you and enjoy your trip!! Do you plan to go to university? If not I think you should work for a year (and party, of course) but try to save up some money and go travel for a while. It's great thing to do while you're young.

1) From which school did you graduate?
Sir M.A.Refalo Centre for Further Studies, Victoria, Gozo, Malta
2) Who was your graduation speaker?
Not yet - actually the official ceremony is taking place on 4th July but we haven't been to school for around two months now.
3) Where did you go / are you going on your senior trip?
N/A
4) What are you doing next year?
I haven't decided yet, but I think I'll take the year off to think about my future and figure out whether university really is necessary.
Now to answer Fritzi's question how much does a liver transplant cost???
That's a topic I'm quite informed about because my mum had one (actually two, the first attempt was unsuccesful) in February/March. According to the doctors, the expenses associated with a liver transplant in the Czech Republic where she had it are around 500 000 CZK, i.e. 18 000 USD. Those weren't paid by our family, but we did have to fork out 550 000 CZK for Cessna Citation V D-CMCM to take her from MLA to BRQ (air ambulance configuration) because liver transplants are not carried out in Malta.
And, I'd advise you not to ruin your liver through drinking because liver transplants are generally not undertaken on alcoholics. Doctors' reasoning: the guy had one liver. Ruined it through alcohol. Why bother giving him another one, it's gonna end that way again!

1) La Jolla Country Day School, in La Jolla, CA.
2) ME! Seriously...I was elected by the class to be the student speaker. Our adult speaker was one of our English teachers. We had to settle for him because the guy we had previously booked backed out on us.
3) No senior trip...but I plan to travel to Australia, Seattle, and Washington D.C. this summer.
4) I'm going to Northwestern University this fall.
