First year of high school

Tweet

My elder daughter is now attending her first year at the same high school I went to "100 years ago" (quote from my dad). It's astonishing how things have changed there. I remembered the stairs, but had forgotten there were so many of them. They weren't nearly as easy to climb as I remembered. Dad sure had a rough time with it. They've also put in elevators, but I'm betting they are for staff use only. They also added some new buildings and numbered all of the buildings too. There are also two cafeterias, now. My daughter says that the freshmen aren't allowed into the other cafeteria and that students did not eat outside. I guess they stopped it due to safety issues. Back when I went there we had the option of asking for a covered lunch to share out doors with our friends. We were also able to hangout wherever we wanted on the campus and enjoy conversations, listening to music, dancing etc. until the bells rang to go to class. Not true any more. Kind of sad. At least she didn't get lost on her first day. I was very worried about that. She was a little disappointed because her crush was no where to be seen, but she did make a new best buddy.
