Educational Experience

After a short, yet enjoyable six-week summer break, I was prepared returning back to school. I didn't have any outstanding expectations for the first three days back at Olympian High. Waiting at the bus stop on the first day already made it feel like I wasn't away from my daily school routine for very long. What I enjoyed about coming back to my second home was having that superior feeling of no longer being part of the underdog freshmen class anymore. The fact that last week was the beginning of sophomore year was overwhelming by itself, & that feeling was great. The class that I'm surprisingly looking forward to is AP World History, because my teacher, Ms. Hadi, introduced herself to the class with so much energy & assurance that the year will be a fun learning experience. I generally don't like history class, but I'm ready to be open-minded, hoping that this particular class will live up to the newly found standard. One unfortunate experience that caught me off-guard was receiving a D in a short, 12 fill-in-the-blank quiz for AP Biology. I suppose I could use that as a wake up call to improve my lack of focus so I can be better prepared for this coming year in that AP class. Overall, I'm looking forward to a great 2011-2012 school year.
