High School: A month in Review

Old Friends, New Friends
· Many of my old friends from my eight grade class went to various schools; however none of them were Stevenson.
· During the summer my best friend Kaitlyn and I spent a lot of time together. Because we knew were weren’t going to be able to hang out as much as we would have liked to because she was going to Divine Child and I was going to Stevenson.
· In the past two months at Stevenson I have made some more amazing friends like Paige, Taylor, Andrew, McKenna, Daniel many more. I was really excited that I made some new friends to start my next four years at Stevenson.
SHS Activities Attended
· I have attended a lot of Stevenson events in the past months I have been here. I have been to the freshman dance, the welcome back dance and many of the football games here. I will also be attending the Homecoming dance with a few of my friends this year.
· One event I enjoyed the most was the Night on the Field. I attended that with one my really good friends, Lyndasy Vincent.
· I plan on attending many more SHS activities this year.
Funniest, Weirdest, Scariest Moments
· I think the funniest moment that happened to me this year is when my best friends McKenna Grisa asked so really random kid at lunch to Homecoming. It was so funny because she did it as a joke and it was so like her to do that.
· The scariest moment of my two months here is when my mom called me at school and told me that my uncle died. However, I was really happy that I had some really good friends to help me through this hard time.

Hardest, Easiest Class Assignments
· For me the hardest assignment I have done so far was my cultural event because I am new to Global Ed and was not really sure on how I should do and I don’t think that I did my best on it, so I am hoping that I was do better on the next one.

Popular Memorable Songs
· Some memorable songs are I gotta a feeling- Black eyed Peas, You belong with me- Taylor Swift and Party in the USA- Miley Cyrus.
Popular Memorable Movies
· The most memorable movie that I saw was ‘Fame.’ I saw it with a couple of my friends. It was memorable to me because I love to dance and this movie was exactly what I wanted to do for my career.
· In the movie I fell in love with one of the dancers, his name was Asher Book.
Rumors and Gossip
· Last year there was so much drama in my old school so I was afraid that I was going to have way more in high school.
· However, I actually haven’t been involved in much drama, which makes me really happy because I don’t like drama, or rumors, or gossip. It very annoying.

Fashions and Trends
· One big trend in the school is plaid shirts and converse shoes. Pretty much everyone in the hallways, people are always wearing some kind of plaid shirt or converse shoes.
· Another trend that I see is skinny jeans. All of my friends always wear them however; I don’t wear them because I really don’t like how they look on me.

Homecoming
· The homecoming dance is going to be the 24 of October this month. Before the homecoming is spirit week. Which is always so fun, today, Friday, we had a super spunky Spartan Friday.
· I am really excited for homecoming this year because I am going with one of my good friends Andrew, Taylor, Morgann, Paige, and Emily. We are all going to Buddy’s Pizza and taking pictures at my house before the dance.

Advice for freshman
· If I could give advice to an incoming freshman I would for sure tell them just be themselves because if people are going to be there friends they will be there friend because of who they are no who they are trying to be.
· Some other things I would tell a freshman is to be in Global Ed. I would tell them that because Global Ed will open so many doors for them as a student.

Interesting new words
· Some new words I have learned here are: glomance, and words that Ms. Van Horn have taught us, legit, true story ( it’s not really one word but I say it all the time)
What I am looking forward to
· I am looking forward to many things this year. The one thing that I am most looking forward to is my graduation. I am really excited for that because I know that I completed high school and it’s my time now to take what I have learned through Stevenson and take it to college. I would really like to go to Julliard because I love to dance and would love to make that my career when I am older.
· Another thing I am looking forward to is Homecoming. I am looking forward to it because it’s my first homecoming and I think it’s going to be so fun because I get to go with all of my really close friends.

Other Noteworthy Achievements or Events
· Some things that I want to achieve is a personal goal. I have become a better dance not just through my technique but through my passion to dance.
· I have been more confident I think because I get to start all over in high school, it’s kind of like getting to do it all over again.
· I think I am going to do well in Stevenson because I have many goals I want to reach in my high school year, and going to Stevenson will help me reach my goals.

Faces in the News
· Some recent faces in the News have been, Balloon Boy, Kanye West, Hilary Clinton, and President Obama, and Michael Jackson.
· The one news story I remember the most was when Kanye West messed up Taylor Swift’s speech when she was receiving her award.

Top five current events
· Obama made a speech toward the beginning of the school year. His speech was about us trying harder in school and not t drop out whenever it gets hard.
· Another story that is big is when Michael Jackson died. I think I was very shocking because no one saw it coming.
·
