Last week, during Thanksgiving Break, I visited my old high school. (GO DUKES!) I must say I enjoyed being there again...getting up early, however, I absolutely hated! I went there for a reason though. I didn't just go home and say 'hey! I think I'm gonna visit my old school today!' No. I actually gave a presentation on Dance and Theatre History! Which makes sense because I'm officially a dance minor!
Going there made me realize I actually sort of miss being there with all my friends. Things in ol' WHS have changed dramatically though. For one thing, they now have iPads! YES! My technology UN SAVVY (not sure I said that right :/) school gave the entire student body iPads! I'm still shocked about that! Like my school was the one taking cell phones if it accidentally went off or suspending people for posting pictures of people on twitter and now they have iPads! I really don't get it. My old drama teacher (which was the reason I was there) was like they still expect teachers to take cell phones which doesn't make sense because they can still have their iPads out. Way to go, WHS.
So I gave this presentation or whatever and I also taught them some basic salsa steps. It was so much fun, however, by the time I got home (after 3 classes of standing and dancing) my feet were aching! The kids had fun too. I got asked so many questions about my college experience so far. Like how's your roommate, what's the sports like, how many papers have you had, and, of course, what are the parties like?! It was cool being able to tell my story (the little story I do have) and share it with everyone. I told them good, the bad, and the ugly! Haha
The students were...the same sort of. I kind of felt socially awkward when I went into the cafeteria because no one REALLY talked to me except these 2 guys I've been friends with forever. I want to say I felt like the new kid on the block. It was weird not walking down the halls and being with everyone as a student. It was also WAY awkward seeing all the new freshmen there. I guess I sort of expected the school to stay the way I left it, but people and things have to grow I guess.
