I said “Because I’m heading to Columbia to take my driver test to get my permit.” Trevor nodded his head and went back to listening to his music. The bus picked up the other high school kids and we went to school. Well, I went to second block after I got done with health class. I told another one of my friends about me leaving and the reason why. Then class went by pretty quickly. Next I went to third block which is English 1. We were told to write about something we did.

I took the eye test and they took my picture and I went to take the test. When I got done we found out that I had missed one to many so I couldn’t get my permit. The lady said “you have to wait a week to take the test over. You can come back next Friday to take it again.” “Thank you” I said. My parents had, surprisingly, agreed to take me to see my friend that lives in chapel hill. My phone was giving us directions on how to get there. I had happened to look down at my phone and I noticed it was taking us to chapel hill in Kentucky. I fixed it and we finally made it to chapel hill. When we got there, I texted him to meet us at the Dollar General by the B.P. gas station. I was nervous. Well he showed up and we gave each other warm and embarrassing hugs. He gave me a present and we started to talk. He said “I’m glad you got to come down here to see me.” “Me to” I replied. He pointed to his car and said “that’s my car.” “It’s nice” I said. “It was free so I can’t complain about it much.” Well after about three hours later we left and headed home.

Being academically independent, since elementary school, I did not feel that high school was going to be a major difference, but I did not take into consideration of a new ambiance with new challenges. One thing that remained the same was the fact that I was always reserved and I stayed to myself. I thought that in high school I was going to be able to leave my shell and be more outgoing. I was wrong, I am still shy and still quiet, but high school did teach me valuable concepts that I will carry on through college.…

Also I was finally accustomed to being in a private Catholic school. From Kindergarten all the way to 6th grade I went to public school. The plan was to go to a public high school and so on.…
