My High School Year

My High School Memory I was sitting down, looking back at those old photos; these pictures struck me with old memories of my high school life. I do not think my best memory of my life has approached me yet. However, I feel my high school years have been the most memorable. My high school, a place that had transformed me from an innocent to a mature one. I was placed in an all-girls school. In the beginning, I found the school environment was very strange, because I came from a mixed primary school. So, it was a little bit awkward, when I only saw girls around in the school compound. Months after, slowly I was adapted to the all-girls environment. I got used to the girls school culture. Craziness was one of the most common characters among the girls. This is because, in an all-girls school, it was normal to speak and laugh loudly, and even shout loudly like nobody business without thinking to take care of your good image. During my high school years, I had a bunch of close friends. We were gossiping about celebrities’ news, friends’ gossip and any other gossips all the time. Making noise during classes was also one of the things that we usually did. There was once, we were all called up to meet the senior assistant because we got complained by a few teachers, we were too loud in class. At that moment, we got punishment for our mistakes that we have done. But today, it became the fond memory that I always cherish. Wise man used to say, if you don’t do some crazy stuff in your secondary years, then you will have nothing to be laugh of in the future. Another sweet memory I had about high school was my friends and I used to eat in the class when teacher was teaching lesson. Certain lesson like history was a boring subject for us. To avoid fall asleep during the lesson, we usually got a lot snacks prepared. When the class began, we started to eat. We were so lucky, because all this while, we never got caught by our teacher. Such a memorable moment I had. In my final year, I was elected as the head prefect of the school. It was a very good platform to implant the leadership in me. I had an opportunity to lead my juniors, together we worked together in order to get things done. We had organized a few events for the school, such as Teachers’ Day celebration. Through these experiences, I see myself slowly transformed from an inexperienced sophomore to a somewhat mature senior, things have really changed for me. Some say that “high school was the best time of my life”, just like others say that high school was the worst time in their lives. To be honest, I am not sure which category I fall into. Throughout my high school years, I have plenty of good times, as well as bad times. The only thing I can say is that I learned. And the most important thing is that, not just that I learned through books, but I learned about life and the road ahead of me.
