High School Memories

Every week Becky manages to come up with better and better questions.  And seeing how much I love talking about high school, I obviously had to link up with today's Show&Tell Monday!




1. Tell us what kind of student you were in high school {popular, nerd, sport obsessed, choir, etc}

I'm really not sure what to classify myself as...I wasn't popular, but I wasn't a loser.  I was no nerd, and didn't really join anything.  I guess I could be classified as the boy crazy one who had enough friends to keep her busy and sane.

2. Share with us some high school pictures. We know you have them somewhere.

3. Tell us about your school. Private? Public? How many in graduating class? Mascots? School colors?

I went to an all-girls private Catholic high school.  I think there was around 170 in our graduating class.  Our colors were blue and white and our mascot was an Eagle...pretty lame if you ask me.

4. Tell us about some of your favorite memories of high school. Or what stands out the most? Any teachers? Specific classes?

- My lunch table girls

- Going to the boys school to sell tickets to a charity dance

- Friday night dances

- Lacrosse games

- My creative writing class

- My English teacher that inspired me in so many ways

- French club field trips

- My French class in general...right Patrice?

- Decorating lockers on birthdays

- Driving a mini van

- Semi-formals and proms

- Our school winning the z100 radio contest and having Christina Aguilara and LFO perform in our gym.

- Sweet Sixteens
- Saturday morning and Friday night football games
- As you can see, I loved it all!

5. Tell us a piece of advice you would pass on to your children or any child entering high school.

I would tell them that school work is important.  It really does prepare you for college.  Pay attention in classes you're not sure you're interested, sometimes they can spark an interest you didn't realize you had.  Make sure to find a group of friends that share the same beliefs, morals, and interests in you.  Be kind to everyone.  Make sure to have FUN.  Tons of it!  Go out, do all the "typical" high school things.  Date boys who are all wrong for you, and some who are all right for you.  Enjoy every moment, even the bad ones.  Make as many memories as you can, because these can be some of the best days of your life.
