The Talk of the Hawk

Being a New Student Elizabeth Lewis Have you ever had a dream where you are in unfamiliar place? You don‟t know anybody there, when suddenly someone reaches out to you. Being new at Larue County High School is very similar to this. Difficulties The change from four blocks to six periods was hard because adjusting to the six periods was really hard. Not knowing
anybody can be difficult. When some people move from a different state and came here they may find that there is not many electives. The bus ride seems longer because there are little kids that like to sing songs and be loud. Positives Some of the class sizes are bigger. We got laptops this year that we did not have at other schools. Getting out at
1:30 on Fridays is advantage. They are less chaos and more structured because there are no cops here. Reflections Talking to more people would have been better. The teachers are all nice to you on the first day. Erika Bowles said “The teaches give much more oneon-one help. Going from a class of 36 to a class of
24 makes all the difference in the world.” She transferred here in March of her junior year. There are more advantages then disadvantages when you to a new place .You get more chances and opportunities and a clean slate. You get to meet new people. If you ever have to go to a new school, just be yourself. If they like you, then they like you. If they do not, then it is their loss.
