Round 6: High School

Tell us about your high school experience. Was it positive/negative? Why?

My high school experience was simply AMAZING. I had the best friends and went to the best school and couldn't have asked for a better experience. I hated the school at the time because there were too many rules and I thought it was too restrictive, but now I can see that in some ways it was just preparing me for life. In other ways I was totally right - uniforms are unnecessary, you shouldn't be forced to say prayer, you should be able to go to and from school however you choose (if you can drive). It was a private school though so I had it coming.

I can't stress how important the friendships I formed in high school are to me today. That was the most positive experience because some of those friendships have lasted this long and will continue to last my entire life and I am so grateful for that.

The only thing negative about high school was that I didn't know who I was yet. I feel like I was confined to this conservative environment and didn't know of anything else besides what was normal. But hey, I can't change the past - it made me who I am today :-)
