I had a crush of my own during high-school, but I knew that she was beyond my league. Jessica was probably the most beautiful girl in the school and she was a senior (I was a sophomore at the time). I wrote her the most beautiful poem that I could possibly think of and I hoped that this would show her that I was actually different from the other guys. She was actually impressed with my letter, but she didn't feel the same way for me. She practically asked me to write a poem for a boy that she was fond of at the time and she ended up dating him as a result of that poem. I know - life can sometimes be very cruel!
One of the things that I enjoyed most about high school was the fun you could have during Ms. Kissinger's classes. Ms. Kissinger was about thirty-two years old and most of time she spent in class she talked to us about her experiences when she was young and about her life...
One of the weirdest things about this was that she incorporated the information that she wanted to teach in these stories and we ended up going through a class that was fun and educational. I believe that she was one of the only teachers who really like what they do and do their best to do their jobs. She addressed each student individually and she would even persuade some of the most rebellious people in our class to take up learning.
There are probably one thousand stories that I can tell about my high school years, but I am pressured by time into writing just two pages. I liked to think that I was different from other individuals when I was in high school, but I slowly realized that I was not different. I was unique, but then everyone is unique… People need to focus on enjoying their lives and we must never forget out past, as it virtually made us who we are today.
