High School, You Should Try It!
That time is near, and its coming around the corner faster than you think. Don’t you remember just going in for 6th grade orientation? Now its time for 9th Grade orientation. Doesn’t matter which school you go to, the change is the same for everyone. New school, new friends, new teachers, new classes, new everything. Everything changes, whether you want it to or not.
For most of us, we’re probably going to the high school across the street, others might be going off to some foreign school in the middle of nowwhere, and some might be going across town. I remember ever since 5th grade I wanted to go to the school across the street, mainly because my sister went there. In 6th grade, my mother bought home one of those Magnet School booklets. I threw it right away, I didn’t want to go to one of those at all. Then this year comes, I get the booklet, and I actually read it. Before I new it i was at one of the orientations and my mum had called the school and set up a Shadow appoinment for me. I’m really not sure what to do. If I go to that Magnet School, I’ll be going into something I really love doing, but no one I know is going there. If I go the school across the street, I’ll be with all my friends be able to do the thing I love, and do a lot of other things they offer, but it wont be the same as actually learning about something you love. At the Magnet school, 1/4 of your day is dedicated to the field you go into. Thats pretty good. They still teach to core subjects, too, but you learn about a field you want to do. for me, I applied for the Acting field. The school is a Performance Arts school, and those who know me no I do nothing else but always something in the performance arts. I’m really into acting, and hope to take it further. It was a really hard desicion, though. You could onyl apply to one of the fields, and I was torn between acting and singing. Took me forever to decide to go for acting. I’m in love with both of the things, but I would still be able to sing in a chorus, just focus on acting. This High School is really great, and I’m glad I applied, but Im still nto sure if im going, if I even get in, that is. Thats the only thing Im scared about. Where am I going to go! If I dont get in, im deffinetly going to the school across from us…but theres this feeling inside that reallys wants me to get accepted into the Magnet School…
