I guess I am moving on and past Rochester. It's different than the way I left it. Suddenly I have enemies, and that's never good. Wow. I never thought I would have enemies, maybe that is a little vain of me. But I made it out of high school without any grudges (barely).
I'm not sure what's happened but I'm growing up. I realized that when I went in to sub at the high school. It was incredibally weird, and especially odd sitting in the teachers lounge. I'm too fresh out of high school for that I think. Though subbing is a good experience, and I've seen Eastridge a lot better now through a different pair of lenses and let me tell you it has gone down hill. So many teachers seem like they've just given up. No! How can you expect your students to care in the smallest bit if you're showing them that you don't? Something needs to motivate that entire school, and fast.
Sam Sanford (Tumminelli) is back teaching English AIS. I practically worshipped her while I was a freshman-- don't ask me why. I sat in her room every day, baked her cookies, she gave me advice and tried to boost my self esteem... Well I see her and say hi and it's as if she didn't have the time of day for me. It hurt a little because I was soo excited to see her, but things change, people change, the world goes on.
The world goes on.
