My school years

Well, in about two weeks i will be graduating. Having spent about five years in a public high school I can say , FINALLY. Did i enjoy it? sure, Did i learn anything? many things. So i'm going to share some of my funniest and maybe fondest memories. In grade nine, i had a nack for making a fool out of myself, mostly just playing into other's jokes. This one day, many of my friends and i were sitting on a bench in between two rows of lockers. To our left a group of boys were tossing a pop can to each other. I began to walk away, when i heard this rolling noise behind me. There near my feet was the can . All of them asked me to toss it back, which i did. They all moved out of the way, and let it explode every where. =) GULP. most of the grade tens, came by and GLARED. Next situation. I loved to write poems in my diary and one of my classes required each of us to bring a poem. I brought my diary to school, and just decided to leave it in a desk at school. The grade tens read it outloud in class, finding out the x number of males i had my eye on. I was horrible. While these things are kind of funny, and maybe embarrasing, I have had some wonderful friendships with the staff. Especially Carole, and Suzanne, they have listened to me sing at the top of my lungs at eight in the morning, and prance around the halls, and they've listened to my troubles and daniel stories. As well, as let me witness to them. I appreciate it very much. Tears certainly aren't an uncommon thing at school. But like i'v said before, its soo cool to have to priviledges we do, I can talk about God to whom ever I'd like, and can bring a bible to school. Now, i may not be able to sell them at school or give them out but at one point there were a group of christians who would have prayer time and a lesson before school. I thought that was pretty cool. If i went back, maybe I wouldn't chose public school, but I have met many people whom i will miss, and that have affected me in a positive way. I used to be afraid of Adults, but not so much any more. So this is my conclusion, I will be moving on. My mom wants me to help teach the rest of the kids here, while she focuses more on my sisters studies , As well as possibly help my grandparents. Those are my plans thus far, however while i may not know tomorrow. God does.
