Am I excited for school? Yes, but is it for the right reasons? Absolutely not! Throughout this whole summer I have been writing all of these essays for you. I had many good ones (I think), but some were just too far off. Now let’s get started on why I am excited for school.
Well, let us start off why I really AM excited for school. I just want to see my friends again. I have many friends I haven’t really kept in touch with this summer, especially during the week. During the week I was not allowed to go anywhere or have anyone over. This most of the time left me pretty lonely at home and I was left to talk with people I met on Call of Duty, rather than the people I really KNOW. I do not have the phone numbers of many of my friends, therefore I couldn’t call them. School is basically the only way I can spend time with my friends and enjoy their company. I am a bit excited my cousin is coming into grade 9, but I don’t think I will talk to her that much this year. Admit it, the main reason people were excited to go back to high school was because of their friends.
There are some pretty fun clubs at my high school like R&B Band and D&D (Dungeons and Dragons). Yes many people say those are for nerds and geeks, but despite that fact, it is fun. I am not saying people at my school make fun of me for it, but some may experience it. There are also great sports at my high school like snowboarding, the French ski trip, concert band (every few years they go on a band trip. Last year was to Boston) or intramurals. Intramurals was explained on the “My First Year at West” essay. What you put into West, is what you’ll get out. Although it is not really a club, before getting on the busses after school is actually pretty fun because it gives you the opportunity to talk to your friends one last time before leaving, and it is actually really enjoyable.
Last but not least, I cannot wait any longer to stop writing these essays. I am extremely happy to have made you all happy, and I am glad you enjoyed reading these essays (and I also must thank you). These essays though are pretty hard to write, and when it comes to the two day essays, these become really hard to write, such as the “How Life on Earth Started” essay. I actually got so frustrated with it; I stalled so long that it to a week to write it. Honestly I was going crazy over that essay that I pretty much through a party when I finished it. These essays can wear you out, and when you have a due date, you become extremely stressed. Honestly these essays were probably the worst part about my summer I’ve actually said I can’t wait for school to start all over again.
This will probably be a big shock, but at school I actually can’t wait to see some of the teachers. My teachers from grade 9 were actually pretty cool, and there wasn’t one I didn’t like. All of my teachers were so nice, unlike the ones I had in grade 4&5. I was pretty beat up every day in that grade, and honestly teachers if you are reading this bad review of your sloppy work, you now know why. You did absolutely to help me through my troubles, in fact to my grade 4 teacher: You gave up on me 4 weeks in because I did not know how to speak French, and I kept asking you to repeat yourself for confirmation of what was said. From that point on all of the teachers at “Katimavik” you all hated me because of my grade 4 teacher and I know it. I liked very few teachers at that school. I used to come home bawling my eyes out each day because of how I was treated at school. But the teachers of my high school are really fun to be around, and I look forward to seeing some all over again. I am giving my favourites: Mr. Emond (Mr. E, Music, most chill teacher on the earth), Mme. Brule (Geography, the nicest, forgiving geo teacher you will find on this planet), Ms. Pert (Most cheerful math teacher ever), Mme. McColeman (The coolest, funniest teacher I know who is obsessed with Middle Eastern food), and Mr. Battye (coolest gym teacher I know who is completely against swearing, try not to or he’ll make you do 10 push ups). Thank you for making this one of the most memorable years ever. Thank god all of you are staying for next year.
Of course what I’m not so excited to go back to, starting off with the popular: class. It is way too much work for me to go back to studying and doing homework. You get piled with homework, and you are expected to do it by the next day. So I have a lot of homework, but to top it off I have to study each subject for 45 minutes, did I mention each? I am not allowed to play any games during the week, and on the weekend I have 4 hours a day. Honestly, this is going to be one of the crappiest years of school for me, because what is going to happen when I am finished studying? Me neither! I also get extremely bored during class, which makes it very hard to concentrate because I become very sleepy, and when I become very sleepy, it gets to the point where it feels like it is impossible to concentrate
I really don’t want to have to go back to all of the school bullies. I have bullies at my school and I have had it. I honestly have been working out all summer long just to make sure that when needed, I can stand up for myself and be left alone. I was the second weakest in my gym class, and by far. I do not want this to happen again this year, and I will do whatever it takes (except drugs) in order to make myself fit. I do not want to be bullied anymore, and I have faced it for 8 years now. I have been pushed too far, and things may not end well if this keeps happening (I’m talking snapping and getting suspended over beating someone up). I have been holding in my anger and frustration for so long that all these people that I meet do not take into consideration how I feel, and continuously pester me on “You’re ugly”, “You’re stupid”, “You’re weak”, “Look at that mole on your face”, or the tackling that begins to happen. Yes, I have sort of amole (more like a birth mark) on bottom middle of my left cheek. It is sort of big, but it does not protrude that much, it is actually almost completely flat.
Now you know why I love school, but I also sometimes really hate it. I usually ignore the bullies, but there are times where I snap. My last snap was at the beginning of 8th grade. I honestly love high school, and I really care about my friends, and even if we get into a pretty big fight I forgive my friends (though sometimes I push too far with what I say). Kids, believe it when your parents say that you will love high school.
