I went to a Catholic school from Kindergarten to 8th grade. At the very last minute thinking that I was going to a Catholic high school, I went to a public one. The Catholic high school I was supposed to attend was closed and an alternate one was too far away for me to commute. The first two HS years sucked ass! I didn't know anyone and I was used to the number grade system. In grade school, we only had two classes that we switched between subjects. In HS, my classes were all over the place and sometimes I would get lost and/or was late to class. Freshman year was the worst. I was always getting detentions for tardiness and some of those fucking teachers had it in for me. It wasn't until HS that I never realized the incredible nepotism for jocks and academic teachers pets. Thankfully, I was like Ferris Bueller, I got along with everyone from jocks and preppies to the skaters and burnouts, but I mostly kept to myself. Academically, I did well in HS. Other than that, it was a small microcosm of what lay ahead in life.
On a final note, I won't partake in any class reunion or anything to do with that fucking HS...fuck them. I march to my own beat.
