What will you miss about High School?: How everyone knew you.

Prop: Helmet that is part of my hand crafted Halo 3 Master Chief suit I made for prom 2009. The whole suit took me about three months and around $350 to build. I have always liked the Halo series and the looks I got from the teachers and other students there that night made it worth all the late nights and hard work.
