Recommended: My high school experience

As I walked through the doors of my old High School nostalgia was the first emotion to hit me like a ton of bricks. Mother Teresa High School, I think to myself as I make my way to what I remember being the gym. I knew I should not have come here. A sense of nervousness hits me as I look at the doors leading to the never ending feelings of what it was like to be in this school, some parts I miss others I don’t. Although there was awful moments here, this school and people has helped me become who I am today. I don’t really pay attention to the adults around me when I first enter the gym because I am blown away on how not much has changed here. The smell of gym equipment and BO fill the air and I can’t help but chuckle. I look around and …show more content…

I am glad you get to live out your passion. You just seem to have it all together. I was thinking, maybe we can grab dinner sometime?” He asks nervously. I smile back at him. “Yeah... I’d love that. Here is my number.” After I gave him my number we both continued to enjoy the emotional roller coaster that this party has brought to us. I got in touch with my friends again and we all talked about how we found our passion. It was weird because just 15 years ago we did not know what we wanted to do with our lives and felt hopeless. Now I realized that all we needed was time to notice what our passion was and to achieve it. After the party ended we all made our way out of the school and once again went our separate ways, of course not before we gave our numbers to each other and promised each other to stay in touch. As I got in my car I couldn’t help but laugh to myself after recalling the events of tonight. I smile to myself as I think of my amazing catch up conversation with Damon. I can’t help but be grateful for this reunion. At first I was not looking forward to what was to come, but now I can’t help but be amazed on how it ended. Seems like this reunion was not as bad as it

    Once we decided on a day, I began to wonder what it was going to be like to go back to a place that I had not been in 7 years. As we approached the building, memories started to flash through my mind, what it was once like to not have a care in the world. From that point on, it was just thought after thought of how things used to be. How the cafeteria seemed like the biggest room ever, the playground was a place of endless amounts of fun, and getting a “pink slip” was the worst punishment in the world. Going back to a place where I spent most of my childhood caused me to reflect on how things had changed since I left there, and what type of person I had become.

Any relief in exiting The Bus left me quickly as I gazed upon Royalton High School once again. I had visited the institution over the last three years for my brothers’ wrestling matches, so it was vaguely familiar. After attending Open House the week prior, I became hesitant to approach since last time I had been assaulted by a large group of chatty girls.

    I can remember sitting in class, feeling eyes burning through me, dodging inquisitive glances from all sides, and anxiously awaiting the bell to ring for lunchtime. As most people know, lunch is the most dreaded part of the first day at a new school. First day of school memories are still fairly vivid for me; my father was in the JAG corps in the Army and my family moved with biannual regularity. In fact, I even attended three different high schools. While this may seem highly undesirable to some, I learned an incredible amount about myself, the world, and other people through movement that I may never have learned otherwise.

The first time I saw the schools name I thought it was the strangest name I’ve ever heard or read, therefore I found it hard to pronounce it in the beginning. The schools’ floors had painted black paw prints, which stood out on the white tiled floor. Once you walk through the doors the office is to the right. The office seemed a bit cramped, since it had so many rooms in such a small area. In the office I meet with a really nice, sweet secretary who helped me register into the school, giving me a small tour of the school, also helping me find

    ... thought that maybe we won’t be friends or even know each other in the future. Unexpectedly, we all had these feelings of fondness for a place we a come to despise and couldn’t wait to leave. Why would that happen to us? We all realized that in this moment we’re growing up but are far from “grown up.” Suddenly, there is a flash of light and in that moment I knew that the three of us would be separated for the rest of the day, maybe our lives. The flash brought everything back. It gave us a reason to go back into the hallway and meaninglessly chat with our friends. After we left that room we were still sharing a moment together but in a different sort of way. The picture was there and we had superficial thoughts but the graduation was so much more. It marked a major time in our lives and sent us off into the future. No longer were we the next generation because we were being sent off into the grown up world. Would we all still be appreciated? How is the world going to receive three naive girls who don’t know anything? All these questions were to be asked and to be forgotten because we got caught up in the moment. The picture marks that time in our past and an important time it was.
