field observations

Hey! So we had our field orientation and I really wasn't surprised by many things. It reminded me of my junior high school back home. The jr. high school is slightly bigger than my jr. high but not by that much. It was so weird to be back in a jr. high though. I didn't really know what to expect when I went in originally. I had passed it several times while driving but that's all I knew about the school. It looked pretty normal and I just assumed it would be. With all of the new extentions, it reminded me of my schools at home. Our town keeps growing and so we have to add onto all of our schools, jr. high schools as well as high schools. We actually just added onto my high school during last summer. It's interesting to see how so many other towns are expanding just like mine. The main thing that caught me off guard were the students. There were so many girls with make-up on and wearing "teen-age" clothing that it threw me off. I've known that everyone is growing up quicker because my brother is in jr. high and I see all of his friends, but it is amazing that almost the whole school is like that. I wasn't ready for everyone to look so "grown-up" already. I just hope they still enjoy their childhoods before it's too late. I guess thats about it! See you guys in class!
