High School Memories

I was thinking yesterday and though I love college and the experience I’m getting living here, there are some things I really miss about high school, senior year in particular.  Senior year of high school one of the best times of my life.  I had fun every single day.  I hardly did any work.  In high school, I was able to pick and choose what assignments I wanted to do and still made all a’s and b’s throughout.  I came to college and here I have to do every single one of my assignments in order to receive the grades I did prior to coming to this place.  I have to work very hard for all my grades, not that I’m not a hard worker, school just came to me a lot more easily before college.  Another thing about high school that I miss is I did exactly what I wanted when I wanted all the time.  Which probably isn’t the best thing truthfully.  If I didn’t want to go to class I would either roam the halls or go hang out in my math teacher’s classroom and talk to her.  Mrs. Silva was my favorite teacher and helped me get out of trouble a couple times.  I was also in this teaching program where I was able to go to an elementary school and student teach.  I had this class for two periods one semester so I was hardly ever at school.  One of the periods I really liked and went every single day.  For that  period I worked with a group of third graders and I loved them.  They were so fun, and doing that made me really decide I do one day want to become a teacher.  The other period I had the class I HATED.  I worked in the after school program.  I liked it when I got to work with the younger kids, but when I didn’t it was torture.  Those kids were so rude and had the worst attitudes.  I skipped that class so many times.  One time, my friend and I actually got caught and we just knew we were getting written up and were going to get in school suspension.  Surprisingly, we got out of that with no real punishment.  Though I sometimes miss high school, all the experiences I had, and all my friends I made, college is super fun and has been a great learning experience for me.  Even though I have only been here for six months I have learned so much about myself and grown a lot as a person.  I’m glad I have the opportunity to be at this school and experience the amazing things I do.
