Belle Valley South had a courtyard in the middle of the building, and I loved going to it everyday to eat.

I grew a little sad when it got to the colder months and we had to eat inside.
The transition from eighth grade to ninth grade is one of the most difficult but unforgettable things a student must do in his adolescence.

At the beginning of every school year, the anticipation of who you 're stuck within a class grows and grows until the very first day of school. All summer everyone prays that they 're in a classroom with their friends, or at least with someone they know.

Because, taking AP classes throughout high school allowed me to always have class with the same group of people. The “Overachievers.”

After many devastating centuries, mankind has learned to adapt to this revolution. Fighting for freedom and molding to the staggering state of affairs, students have mastered separation brilliance and competence, creating differences with style, interests, and appetites. One thing that will never change… there is no escaping these dreadful high school cliques! “Whatever!
