Being a full-time student as a senior is similar to what I think being shoved down a flight of stairs feels like. It’s like being slapped in the face over and over again. My schedule is something I would not wish on my worst enemy.
Not only do I spend hours doing homework every night for different AP classes, but then I come into school every single day and am left alone to die by my fellow seniors. When I go to lunch, there are MAYBE 20 seniors there on a good day.
It feels like everyone just disappeared. I know 80% of seniors are on waiver, but come on, guys! Us students who have a full schedule are left sad and lonely.
My one wish this year is to have a day where all my friends are at school for a day. Unfortunately, that will never happen. I feel like I’ve been left in a desert with no water or food. Left for dead by people I would consider my friends.
A lot of my friends ask me why I chose to be a full-time student. My response is always that I wanted to take a lot of classes FHS offers. However, I didn’t know it would cause such a horrible situation.
By the time fourth period hits, it feels like there are 30 seniors left in the building. I sit in those classes, sad and alone. My only saving grace is the 1-2 seniors who stick around to see the end of the day. I thank specifically Ashley Myers for being there every 4th period. Without her kindness, I would probably be crying every day.
