One bright but chilly January morning in 1957‚ I ambled across the campus at Pacoima Junior High‚ killing time‚ stalling on my way back from the restroom to class. It was report card day and I‚ like most eighth graders‚ felt relieved that the fall semester had come to a close and something new would get under way; new teachers‚ new kids to meet‚ new assignments to ignore. My classroom was near the gym in a row of low-slung‚ drably painted buildings that were symptomatic of 1950’s public architecture

I went to St. Michael School from Kindergarten through Eighth grade‚ so when it came time to leave for high school‚ I was not excited for the change.

good idea for students to finish high school in three years and enter college or the work force one year early? I believe that it is an awesome idea to be able to finish high school early. This would help young adults to be able to experience life beyond school much sooner.

until five each night. When you come home after school there is no one home with you. What could you get into? You might know right from wrong but you still might get yourself into some trouble.

I think we should either keep schools open longer or introduce more after school programs. Many advantages would come from either

on the part of every student to remember the first day at school. It gave me a terrible feeling of fear and anxiety as I went to school with my father. It was my mother who first thought of sending me to school. Of course I was of the school going age. When my mother expressed it I thought that she was a heartless woman. My mind was disturbed at first. Although I had heard about school‚ I had not visited it earlier. My father took me to school which was an unknown place for me. Teachers and
