and I just started it. |
I went through the Roxbury school system from kindergarten; this is where I met some great people. And I had some great teachers that I still remember to this day. Kindergarten was probably was the best because we switched classes everyday with the other teacher. My teacher was very musical(one of many reasons I went in music later in my school career); he made everyone laugh, then we would go across the hall to the other classroom and that teacher would teach us things that she taught hers. Then before you know it, hear is high school; we called it a prison because there is no windows,
NO WINDOWS to see the outside world. You only saw daylight is if you took gym, during lunch, band class, or if you were lucky to have a class in either E or P halls. I enjoyed my freshman and senior years the most. I had amazing teachers through out my four year at RHS but I some are more cool then the rest. When graduation came, I was not so sad to not have to walk the hallowed halls of my now alma mater. I miss going to band and taking all the history classes I could; and seeing the teachers that made it possible for me to graduate.
Now a days, I spend my time writing and working. I have been working in a pediatric doctors office since my junior year on high school(started in 2010). It is a good job while your in high school since I'd go after school. I also still volunteer at the public library. I have been there for almost ten years and love it. I have met some amazing children along the way; they are all now in elementary school and their parents/grandparent(s)/care-taker have become friends through story time. I have come a long way from book jacketing books and shelving. Now, I help run story time and other programs throughout the year. This year will make my tenth and final year. I have taught many others and made friends within the employees at the library. All the memories will be and I will tell in a future a blog closer to my final Friday.
As the year goes on, I will share my daily events on days, recipes, makeup looks... On occasion, I might write a blog in German from time to time; I can speak... please leave any questions and talk to you soon
