How was your first day of High School? Get locked in a locker? Sit by the cute and popular guy at lunch? Were you nervous? Did you get lost trying to find your classes?
My first day of high school was in 1999 - over ten years ago - but I still remember it pretty well. I remember that I was both excited and nervous. I was going to a new school where I knew no one - I had switched from the public school board to the Catholic school board to begin Grade Nine - and was ready for a fresh start. I didn't have a positive experience in Elementary/Middle School so I was ready to be free of the people I had started Kindergarten with and begin a new path.
One of the things that really stands out from my first day in Grade Nine was my Grade Nine music class. I had played the flute starting in Grade Six so I was really excited for this class. I remember sitting in the middle of the class and two girls turning around and introducing themselves to me - Ashleigh turned out to be my best friend until Grade 11 and Amanda and I are still friends to this day.
