Freshman Blog- My First Day at my New High School.

My first day of my freshman year at Center Line High School was probably the best first day I have ever had. My school has started a brand new program & I was very eager to try it out. As I awoke on September 4 of 2007, I was hesitant about getting up & going to school, but then I realized that this was my chance to prove everyone wrong. To prove that I can lead a good life with good grades, good teachers & good friends. It was like a brand new fresh start for me. I thought that Freshman Only Day at my school was the best. We had Link Crew Leaders there that had a GREAT impact on our start of high school. When we first got there we were greeted like we were royalty, with Juniors & Seniors cheering us on as we walked through the gym. It really made us feel good. It really made a difference to me because now I have a better relationship with a lot of the upper-classmen at my school. When we sat down after meeting new friends & visiting our old ones, we did funny excersises such as putting our hands in the air then lowering them & scratching our neighbor's back. Mr. Tapp , the teacher in charge of the whole Link Crew program, made this a great experience. He made all of this fun. He had us do games & activities to help us to work together as a team. He had us sing silly songs & even play a funny game of simon says. But overall, this whole Link Crew program changed my outlook on High School & life itself. High School is not as bad as you think it is. Yeah it is a lot bigger && more challenging, but you do get more freedom to be the kind of person you WANT to be & not who everyone else wants you to be. To me, I think High School is so important & i really think that I'm gonna give it my all & be the best person i can be. When you first start high school you want to step off on the right foot. Don't slack off, because your future depends on your high school career. Don't let anyone tell you wrong, because when you look back on the things you did, you'll be proud of yourself. So my advice to you is that you should set some goals & achieve them. Because that's the best way to start your future.
