Like “ant piles”
We made mounds in every corner
Eager to learn, live and leave someday
Trying to find ourselves
Or something like that…
Accepting changes
In between class rooms
.
The hallways broke us;
We made friends
And lost them at times
Had our first fights
That lasted seasons
Our worst of grades
Glued to those walls
We got bullied in those halls
We gave in
We gave up
At times kept going
Love notes and secrets
Were shared
We laughed and cried consequently
Memories worth keeping we made
More worth losing we acquired
Smiles with braces were familiar;
Empty smiles to say
Unsure faces of fear hang in there
Trying to survive
.
We were young
We were “brave”
We were broken
We were growing
We persevered
Through high school.

You captured it well. Interestingly, when my kids were going through high school the school was undergoing construction and the did not have lockers. When the school was finished, they still did not have lockers. Most of the textbooks were given to the students to keep at home and then there was also all of the online work. Technology changes a lot of things but I so remember the locker experiences and think that my kids missed out on some fun. Nice job, Susan.
Thank-you very much once again Miss Janet for reading. I truly appreciate🙏🙏. I think highschool is one of the hardest seasons in one’s life. I still recall that season of my life; I wanted it to go by fast!. ❤

Yes, now I hear and see my daughter experience this stuff. Not much has changed in some aspects when I was there.
In general, I think of highschool as a place and season to grow/mature. By the time one hits their first year of college, then there’s the feeling of maturity; atleast it was for me.
Yes with a lot of students. My daughter want to be a pediatrician so she will have to do that to make it through.
The whole thing summed up beautifully! 💞
Thank-you very much my dear. 💝
