I observed the crowd and who gathered to watch. At…

I’ve played guitar for eight years. My early Kindermusic lessons instilled a love of music which I channel into my six stringed best friend. Every week, I take lessons and practice with my ensembles.

That day I had music, when I walked into the room I saw two people that I had never…

I shadowed a junior, who will be referred to as Sarah, through 6 class periods. The classes observed included Government, Informational Technology (IT), band, lunch, and a free period during which Sarah worked in the office. The high school in which I observed showed its age, there was a very warm feel to the building. The first classroom I was in grew almost unbearably warm, there was still a chalkboard in the room, and the room itself felt crowded. The feeling of being crowed carried through…
