Picture this. It’s the first day of high school and you’re scared beyond belief. You open the front doors and take your first steps into the school where you will be spending the rest of your high school experience in. You see the administration’s office to your right and hope you will never have to step foot into that place, and to your left you see the counseling center with the councilors smiling ear to ear as they are optimistic about the new year. Straight in front of you, you see more people you could even imagine could fit into this one building. You have your psycho teachers hating how their summer is coming to an end. Your too cool for school seniors who are praising the fact that this is their last year, your emo kids under the stairs doing who know what, the creepy druggies who you just hope will never ask you to do drugs or be in their gang. In the mist of all the people you also have your cheerleaders and jocks, popular kids, band geeks, nerds and the list can just keep on going on and on. Today’s your first day as a sophomore and with the anxiety of being in a new school and starting a new year, you are also extremely excited because hello, you’re in high school now and you’re about ready to start the best years of your life!.....Well needless to say this was how I felt on my first day of school last year. As a Squashmore at Bear River I didn’t know what to expect as I started my year. Needless to say my sophomore year was one to remember. I ended up spending my fair share of time in the principal’s office and did end up going to the counseling center a couple times. I became friends with people from a lot of different groups and clicks in the school. I guess you can sorta call me a social butterfly. I love making new friends and meeting new people. Last year I was a Hi-Stepper and they are pretty much the best drill team EVER! By being a Hi-Stepper I learned so many life lessons, valuable experiences and moments that I loved and will cherish for a lifetimes. Last year I was also Sophomore Class Senator and loved every minute of being in student council. I would have to say being in that class would be the highlight of my day and a great way to start my morning off with a fun song and a random quote or object lesson. During the year I made a mistake and almost lost my chance of the privilege of being on Student Council but luckily I just managed to be on probation. But that experience I wouldn’t change for the world because it made me open my eyes and really realize the importance of being a leader, having trust with teachers and administration and really thinking through my actions. But with all the fun I had last year I had so much stress, worry, and trials that were sent my way as well. But this year is different, as I walk through the doors my first day of school I am a totally different person than I was last year. I decided not to do Hi-Steppers again this year for several different personal reasons; along with I was not reelected to be on Student Council again this year. So this year im going to go out, get envolved and have the time of my life.
My junior year I am going to start clean. I am not making a drastic change in my life but I am just going to do my best to be the best person I can this year. No more getting in trouble (Mom I’m sure that made you happy to hear, but I don't think I can change being talkative in class...Sorry :) ) I want to get into some different clubs and to just scream my heart out as I watch the different sporting events. I want to get out of my box even more and be friends with so many more people, try new things, get good grades and a decent score on the ACT. My junior year I want to do random and crazy things with my friends and just live my high school experience as best as I possibly can. So on August 29, 2011 it’s my day to walk through the doors of Bear River High School and start this amazing chapter in my life as a junior in High School. You only have one chance to be in high school so I am going to love every moment of it!
