There Goes the Neighborhood!

I remember being so excited and scared when I first got to Whitney Young last year. I was excited because I was finally in high school! I've been waiting for this utopia where you gin independence that people called high school! I was so ready to get up that September morning and meet new friends at my new school.
I was curious if high school was like the movie Mean Girls where everyone is apart of separate clique are like on Everybody Hates Chris, on Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide or on every other teen show, where people get stuffed in lockers, get pennies thrown at them or get beat up in the bathroom. Television really makes your mind wonder!
I was also scared about going to Whitney Young because I graduated from a small middle school. I was going to be the only one from my middle school to be at Whitney Young. I finally understood what people on tv mean when they say "you're gonna be a little fish in a big pond". I was going to be like Nemo in Sydney, Australia!
But when I walked into sixth period Biology, my stomach started to do jump up and down as if it was getting ready to jump off a diving board! I felt so sick. I eventually felt better, made a ton of friends and had so much fun my first year of high school! I wonder how much MORE fun I will have over the course of high school.

Oh my goodness, Kevin Micheal and his girlie voice is getting on my nerves writing this! You can put your playlist on suffle so others dont feel the same. NEMO RULEz -did you see my little "z"? Yeah, ya did.

  2. Biology was horrible for me too, but I met someone super awesome in that class. YOU! You helped me through a lot in that class. I'm glad I didnt transfer out of that class or I would've lost a great friend like you. :]

  3. Hey Amber! No way is WY like Mean Girls. I've been here for what, three years, (I'm a Frackie) and I've never had a single penny thrown at me. It's easy to make friends at WY, you kinda just have to walk up and say, "HI, my name is ____________." And it all sorta goes from there.
