Well, here we are Senior year. It happened so fast. I decided that I'm not going to be doing track and field this year because I need to focus on school and keeping my grades up if I want to get into a good college. So far I've got C's and D's but if I try hard enough I can bring it up to A's and B's. If I was to say that it was easy getting here it would be a lie. I ran into a bunch of struggles but managed to fix myself and make my life how I want it to be. If you have realized I haven't talked about who I like or thought is pretty but I thought this should have waited till now to talk about it. After everything in Freshman year, I met this girl named Kelly.
She was the sweetest person, we used to hang out every day during the summer and still hang out. Kelly graduated last year and isn't going to college yet until she is ready. Well about halfway through Sophomore year I asked Kelly if she wanted to possibly date and she said yeah. Ever since then I knew that I was going to do good. Even though I have a bunch of friends I can only trust so many. So there have been fliers all over the school about the school play and I decided that I could give it a try. The theme was off of all of Dr. Seuss's books and it was called the Seussical. I tried out to be The Cat In The Hat, about 3 days later I found out that I made it and I'll be Cat In The Hat. I went to every rehearsal I could no matter what was in my way. But this year would be 2 years since I have been dating Kelly.
One day I was walking down the halls and saw a Sophomore making fun of a freshman so I went up to them and asked if there was a problem here and sure enough the Sophomore left the freshman alone. The Freshman thanked me and I said don't worry about it and walked him to his class. On my way to his class, I started asking him to tell me about who he is. It turns out he is a lot like me, came here from London and had very little money. After he told me that I started hanging out with him and making him feel welcome. I invited him to watch the last show of the Seussical. He said he will be there. A few moments before the play started I looked out into the audience and I saw him in the front row seat. After the play, I went up to him and talked with him. I told him I never got his name and he said, Jeffery Alexander. Once he said that I asked him if he had an older brother named James Alexander and he said yes and asked why. I told him that James was my best friend back in London, but then I had to move away and lost all contact with him. I asked him if James lives here and he said no he is at college. I was kind of happy to know he is in the United States though.
Well, it's been 3 months since the Play happened and something exciting happened to me. A colleague reached out to me and asked me if I wanted to join their class of 2028 and I gladly accepted it. They gave me a full scholarship and told me that I was the only one they gave a scholarship to because of everything I did for Schenectady High School. Once I told Kelly she was happy because that was the college she was planning on attending so now we could go together. I told her that I will be going after the summer and she said that to me too. Well, this was fun and I'm going to miss High School a lot and everyone in it. I'll be back soon I promise.
