New Places. New Faces!

Being a new kid at a school can be scary. Not knowing anyone can at times feels lonely. But at CCS I felt welcomed from the beginning. The girls from the volleyball team were all very nice even though they didn’t know me, they always made me feel like part of the team. The very first day of school, I was very nervous. I hardly ate anything that morning, and while getting ready I thought of the school year ahead of me and hoped for the best. As I walked into the doors of CCS, I saw some new and familiar faces in the crowd of people waiting to get their locker numbers. After putting my stuff in my locker, I made my way to my first class which was History with Mrs. Mann, who makes history very enjoyable.

Later that day at the lunch table, I was able to get to know my fellow classmates better. Jessica Assaad lightened the mood with her jokes and sense of humor. And Erynn Fullmer, with her outgoing personality, made it feel like I’ve known her all my life. Later in English class with Mr. Foutz (Who was also new to CCS) I came to the conclusion that English was going to be my favorite subject this year. Ninth hour was choir with Mrs. Dickson, who has a glowing spirit that can be seen by all. And with her passion for music she is able to teach the students the art of music. After volleyball practice, on my way home I started to think about the events of the day. I thought of the people I had come to know and would be spending the next year with. #allgoodthings!!
