It was a bright, pleasant friday September 2nd in Nolensville,Tennessee. I was getting ready for the school day in my room by dressing in all black for the special day. Today was a very momentous day for the excited school, students, and teachers as it was the first ever homecoming parade for the new school Nolensville High. The theme of the homecoming was black-out, in which you are supposed to wear all black. After I got ready for the day, I got my backpack and left my house at around 6:30 to get to my bus stop. The bus stop was a far, uphill distance from my house, so I looked over my schedule in my pocket while walking there.
The only part of the school that was normal that day was the same time as usual, all of the classes were for ten minutes and ended at around 9:30. Then, there would be the Homecoming Parade with all of the floats and people on them until 11:00, next, …show more content…

The start of the parade is around a mile away from where my friends and I were at. After twenty minutes of waiting and hearing distant sounds of the parade, we now saw the first car that said Welcome to the Nolensville Homecoming Parade! The first floats to come by where all of the fall sports teams with Football being the biggest one. Next where the freshmen and the sophomore float with the freshmen float being the better one with more design and time put into it. Lastly, were the all of the Nolensville government officials and Nolensville department of emergency responders that led it the parade out with loud horns that made everyone get loud. After the parade was over, I had realized that this was bigger than just the Homecoming parade or even the Homecoming day. I realized that this was the day the town had been waiting for a long time and it was obvious in seeing the crowd. I will always remember the parade as one of my best high school memories when looking back on the

So, the homecoming went dark for a period, before the Doylestown Area Business Association resurrected it. It was called the Rogues’ Hollow Festival (though for one year it went by Doylestown Community Celebration). In 1997, the festival expanded from one day to two. And, over the years, it appears to have gained in popularity, said Denny Toth, who organizes the parade on behalf of the Doylestown Lions Club.

Once we all had our food and we were all at the table we all agreed that the tacos they made that day were really nasty which kind of made some of us upset because we were actually hungry. After lunch, we all went and sat back in the classroom for the rest of the school day. Towards the end of the school day we all went to grab our luggage from the security room which had been checked by now and security took what we couldn’t have because it wasn’t safe. We then all took our luggage to this white van which was going to bring our stuff towards the dorm so we wouldn’t have to walk our entire stuff across the campus. Once we made it to the front we grabbed our things and they showed us to our rooms, after getting settled the rest of the day was nice we all met new faces and just had

As I traveled through each grade of the Croton-Harmon High School, my personal and academic goals helped to me to really flourish. These goals may have varied from year to year because a freshman is a little different from a senior, but they basically had all the same concept: I wanted to strive in school to be the best all-around student I could be, constantly stay focused and immerse myself in the Croton community. By setting my expectations and goals very high, I could flourish academically and really work to my full potential. By following these goals in school I pushed myself very hard and tried to take classes that would challenge me as well as help me to flourish as a student.

Maybe it was the fact that I’d get to support the city I’ve lived in and loved for so many years, or maybe it was to be a part of the “cool crowd,” either way, going to the parade was one of the most traumatizing experiences of my entire life, where I learned that appearances can deceptive and that before going somewhere, you should always have plans made in case you get lost. At first, the parade was a lot of fun and really exciting. I met up with some friends from dance class and we got a load of snacks before going to the parade so we wouldn’t have to leave midway through for lunch. I had an amazing view at the very front of the section at Union Station, courtesy of my amazing friends, and a police officer. As the parade ended, my friends and I all realized that the crowd was about to get really rowdy, so we decided to go to the studio and watch a movie instead of staying around for the rally.

Last year I moved from Guttenberg to Manchester, which moved me from Clayton Ridge to West Delaware High School. The whole move was a speedy process. Before we moved I only knew 3 people that attended West Delaware and out of those people, none of them are my age. I was upset with my parents for putting me in the position of leaving all my friends that I had finally gotten used to, to move somewhere where I didn’t know anybody. A rush of emotions were coming onto me; fear of losing friends, anger and resentment towards my family for not telling me until they had already bought the house, but also excitement because I would be starting all over again and meeting new people.

High school was a roller coaster ride for me, from the endless fun of parties to the minor breakdowns and panic attacks that would land myself in the hospital. The pressure and stress got to me and the fact that failing out of the school that I’ve been going to for twelve years with long life friends was coming to an end. Now that I look back at it though it might have been the best decision for my well-being because then I would of not been able to meet the people that I met at Chamblee Charter High School.

Atlanta International School, which was the school I went for basically my whole life, was a very open minded, well rounded, and accepting establishment since the most of the students where from all over the world.
