People were different, teachers had contrasting ways of teaching, and I had to introduce myself to absolutely everything.
Valley had some sort of laid-back lifestyle where everyone got along like family and students actually enjoyed going to school; something that no one could explain unless they experienced it themselves. It seems like the smaller the school, the more fun we had. Homecoming, prom, and the other activities we did throughout the year were ten times better at Valley. Valley’s feeling of home was replaced with emptiness and substituted with misery, torment, and heartache.
I will have to say, the only thing I really liked about the whole-grade sharing is the opportunity to meet a lot of great people. There is no doubt that I would take back Valley in a heartbeat to finish the last two years of my high school career. At the time we never realized how awesome we truly had it. The good-bye made me realize what I had, what I’ve lost, and what I have taken for granted. As strenuous as the situation is, Valley will never be forgotten with all the memories that were shared there.
As the school year is winding down at North Fayette Valley, I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy and grateful that school will be done. I’m not the one that complains too much about homework and assignments, but the mentality of certain people in the school district absolutely blows my mind. I’m very much a people person; I love to talk, love to have conversation about pretty much anything, and I’m fearless enough to say that I’m a friendly person. With the frame of mind of the administration and coaches of NFV, they have a lot to learn. As my senior year begins, my motto is just to do what makes me happy, forget the people that won’t matter in a year, and make the best of it. I’ve got nothing to lose, but certainly everything to gain.
