When I moved to Clarke Central High School, I felt anxious and and uneasy– now I feel at home.
My mind went blank as I walked through the hallways of Clarke Central High School on Aug 15. Being thrown into a new environment is not always the most comfortable thing, at first I was anxious with changing from my old everyday lifestyle into a new one.
When I made the decision to come to CCHS, my friends and family told me I would not like the environment and that I would hate my sophomore year. Nonetheless, everything they told me turned out to be untrue. Other rumours dealt with security at CCHS. The main rumor was that they would look through my belongings every morning. Now that I have seen that security does come in handy around campus, especially with fights, I feel more comfortable.
North Oconee High School, the school I attended last year, is a great school, but since moving here, I have made more friends and I feel more at home. CCHS has allowed me to express myself, instead of trying so hard to fit in with the “popular” group.
In the past, I have not seen myself as someone who would take advanced classes.
My parents are excited that I am now challenging myself with advanced classes. The higher classes I’m taking now make me feel good because I understand what’s going on. Also, I can say I’m proud of myself for going beyond of what I thought I couldn’t do.
I miss NOHS, but finally being at CCHS makes me feel better about myself because I am who I am and I will be who I want to be.
