I was really curious to see what classes everyone misses from high school and what college classes everyone is taking now.
So if you would just comment what classes you miss and why and what classes you have in college.
To start I have:
Political Science (it is actually one of my favorites and most interesting ones)
Biology (I wish I could kill this class)
Sociology (absolutely my favorite class!)
Writing (I love that I am doing so well in the class)
Classes I Miss:
1. Creative Writing - I didn't realize until recently how much I learned about myself in that class. There was so much freedom and encouragement to just write and think. I think that class really made me open up and I miss it like crazy!! (I even made a poster of my quote, that W-K gave me at the end of the semester and put it on my wall in my dorm)
2. Announcements - I feel that this class was my whole second semester. I really miss that I don't have control over it anymore and I hope it continues. I still talk to Mr. Owens and I watch the announcements and give feedback to Mr. Owens to give to the students. I cannot let it go. If anyone cares the announcements now has a YouTube account because I wouldn't stop bugging Mr. Owens.
3. Experiential Learning - I just missing working with all my third graders.
So comment below on your replies. =]

Growing
When I first left high school I knew there would be a few things I'd miss. I knew I would miss my friends and the great teachers I had. My first semester of college is quickly coming to a close and I can say that I miss high school a lot more than I originally expected. There is a certain familiarity in high school. You know most of the people you will graduate with, you know all the teachers or at least their names, and you know that if you're having problems someone in the school will be ready to help you out. During high school it was easy to make fun of Sparta but as soon as I left I realized how great it really is. Sparta High School has some of the best teachers I could ever ask for and some of the best friends I could ever find. You just need to know where to look.
I entered college with both excitement and complete fear. I couldn't wait to learn and experience something new. However, I didn't get what I expected to find. The first semester has been long, stressful, and overwhelming to say the least. Things change in college, and not always for the worst. It all depends on your experience. For me, college has been tough and overwhelming and I know I'm not the only one who has felt this way. For everyone who chooses to go to college I wish you the absolute best and hope it's everything you want it to be. However, if college isn't everything you expected - it's okay. It's all an experience and things need to be done at your own pace. I'm slowly learning this myself.
- We miss you WK! (We being Katie Malone and I) It would be awesome to see you sometime to say "Hi" =]
