Compare And Contrast School And High School

The two unlike schools, two unlike states, two different counties, and two very different living styles had many similarities and many differences. There were little differences in things such as the way people dressed to big things such as the number of people in the graduating class. There were many similarities as well, such as them both being a high school and them both having a reputable curriculum. I was able to experience both a country school for the first two years of high school as well as a city school for the last two years of high school. Westosha Central High School being in Salem, WI and Warren Township High School being in Gurnee, IL. Many differences and many similarities made it difficult to decide which school I would prefer,
I not only had the fear of starting high school, like everyone else, but I also had the fear of starting a brand new school, with no one I knew, people who have known each other since kindergarten. I didn’t know what it was going to be like, if I would fit in, if making new friends was going to be easy, or even how big the school was. I was never involved in sports, my freshman year I tried out for the cheerleading team; I MADE IT! It made me feel excellent about myself that there wasn’t much competition, and it didn’t make me feel like I wasn’t good enough. It being in a little community and little school, 150 in the graduating class, made it nice that there was constantly a lot of school spirit and the community was constantly included in everything the school had been going on such as; any games for any kind of sports, any fundraisers or any volunteer work that needed to be done. All the students and teachers were greatly welcoming; it wasn’t highly diverse at all. If I would have graduated from there, there would have been only four African americans in my graduating class. From experience and in my opinion, racism is a big cause of violence and causes more drugs; this school didn’t have any violence and very little drug use from what I saw of students. Everyone knowing everyone made it easier for everyone to get along, there was never much drama, even being a girl. The small
Yet again, I was starting another school where I didn’t know anyone.I had to do it all over again, with the same thoughts going through my head, wondering what it was going to be like, always wondering if I was going to fit and make friends easily knowing how big it was. I decided that these next two years at this school were going to be focused on college and my school work, I wasn’t going to be in any clubs or sports. I thought to myself that joining a sport at a small school was very different and I didn’t want to know what it was like at a big school. I managed starting this school just like I managed starting high school. Good thing I am very outgoing so I enjoy meeting new people! I remember my first day of school there like it was yesterday. Walking in and seeing thousands of faces that I have never seen before. It was huge, 1500 in each grade. It was so big that they had two different campuses; one for the freshman and sophomores and another for the juniors and seniors. It was really hard making friends but I was lucky enough to be able to go to the Lake County Tech Campus associated with the College of Lake County and I made a lot of friends there in my nursing class. It was a very racial school, there wasn’t a majority of one race whereas Central was majority whites. I enjoyed all of my teachers that I ever had at Warren and I felt that I really learned a lot compared to feeling like I was ever
