Looking back on things, I didn’t like my private school, nor did I hate it.
I suppose I had a sort of mutual agreement with the system that I would put forth enough effort to pass and it wouldn’t bother me too much about it.
At least the elective classes were fun, even if I wasn’t the most athletic or artistic student, and I did enjoy my laptop classes. I’d say I had pretty so-so instructors, and I can most clearly remember the assemblies we had. It seemed like we had assemblies for just about everything, and there was constantly at least one a month. All of the students had to file into the gym in groups based on their grade and rest tomatoed together on the bleachers! The principal of the school was really long winded and his speeches went on for such a long time that it was taxing to really focus on what he was saying. And then there was also the air conditioning in the gym. While most of the school hallways had fairly normal temperature control, all of the major rooms and classrooms seemed to have the air conditioning running on high all year long. The Heating and Air Conditioning system blasting during the assemblies chilled the gym, despite the body heat of the surrounding students, and the cool air constantly made me feel really drowsy. There were even a few times where the student kneeling next to me had to push me away from them after the air conditioning had made me start to doze off and lean over. The pep assemblies could keep me up though, with the band and cheerleader performances. They were really the best part of my private school and its assemblies.
