This year I’m a new student at Calvary Christian Schools Calvary events so I could talk to my friends. The first few days it was pretty weird to have a locker to put my stuff in instead of a drawer. I even left my locker door open a couple times before I got used to it. When I was homeschooled I went to bed late and slept in late, so it’s been kind of hard getting used to waking up at 6:30.
Packing lunches has been challenging as well, but thankfully I’ve only forgotten my lunch once. Just generally having set times for classes was very different too. Before I could always do whichever subject I wanted first and there was no such thing as “homework.” Tests and quizzes are harder and the teachers are way stricter than my mom. However, you cover more material in homeschooling in a shorter amount of time.
Getting to know and reconnect with the people in my class has been fun. I already knew some of them from kindergarten, and the ones I didn’t know weren’t hard to make friends with. The people in my class and the people at Calvary are really nice and easy to talk to. Going on retreat helped a lot with giving time to just chill and get to know everyone better. They’ve made me feel at home and it’s only the fourth week of school.
Something I was really looking forward to was being able to see my friends every day. Doing school by myself got lonely and boring and it was easy to get distracted. For a lot of people certain classes can be boring, but since I’ve never experienced regular classes before I think they’re all interesting. Also at Calvary I now take band, choir, P.E. and a Bible/Focus class where at home I only did the usual history, science and so on. In my opinion school is fun. I enjoy seeing friends every day and going to all the different classes. It just feels like I’m going to a big social event every day and I love it. Calvary is a great school with great people and I am very thankful to God for allowing me to go there.
