Did you like high school? Why or why not?
It’s okay. I know that there are better things out there, and I feel a little cramped by requirements made by the state and school about what I can and cannot take

Are you happy about what you accomplished in high school?
I’m happy with the things I’m attempting to accomplish in the future, since I’m only halfway there.

What was the biggest thing that you’ve learned about yourself/life in high school?
You have to be prepared for everything. You’ll say that you’ll never lose this friend, but you might. You’ll say you’ll never forget to do homework, but you probably will.

What has high school taught you?
How to take standardized tests and please teachers. But seriously, I’ve learned more about personal relationships, besides obvious school subjects.

If you could change one thing, what would it be? Why?
The fact that grading is subjective. If you have a teacher that hates your writing, you’re screwed. If you have a hard/easy teacher, you’re not graded on the same scale as everyone else.

If you could redo all your years in high school, would you?
Well, nothing particularly bad has happened, but I’d like to redo freshman year and not get sick and have to makeup freshie gym :)

What was your favorite class?
Bio was fantastic because I love biology, but AMC (required American history course freshman year) was so enjoyable. My teacher would have us hid under desks and reenact trench warfare and tell us stories about how she used to go to art school to be a florist and how when her leg was asleep she thought she had this horrible unexplained paralysis that an old friend of hers suffered. That sounded a lot funnier in context…

Least favorite class?
Ugh well I like the subjects that I’m taking but dislike the class. Spanish III is sooo boring right now.

How did you manage your time in high school?
I kinda just go home and do homework. If you don’t wait until after dinner to do homework you won’t be up until one. I also eat dinner SUPER early, like when I get home from school so I’m not interrupted.

What was your favorite thing about high school?
Indoor Percussion.

Least favorite?
Couples making out and center court: this center hub (our school is wheel shaped with little spokes and stuff) that gets so crowded during passing periods. A friend of mine was in some giant seniors was so he got picked up by his backpack and shoved over.

Rate your high school experience (socially) from 1-10.
I love my band and percussion family, as well as my academic family, so 10, so far <3

Rate your high school experience (academically) from 1-10.
As stated, I feel slightly restricted, and a lot of my classes are so boring that I do other homework in them, but on the other hand, I have some really passionate teachers and engaging coursework, so probably a 7.

High school is not the best thing; I know there are better things out there, but it is better than middle school.
