Assignment five

Before I started attending Back Bay High School in the second trimester in 11th grade, I came from Costa Mesa High school. On my first day of Back Bay I was a little nervous because I almost didn't know anyone originally but I eventually started talking to them. At lunch I sat at some tables and noticed two other students that seemed to be new as well. We ended up becoming friends and hung out during lunch time from then on. It was a strange coincidence that we shared common interests like playing video games and discussing similar topics (mostly about weird news topics). That time is one of my favorite things from Back Bay high school.

Another one of my favorite things from Back Bay is the way they run their school. Unlike other high schools such as Costa Mesa and Estancia, this one has fewer students, no homework, smaller campus, and a great schedule system. I became accustomed to going to regular school the entire day and leaving at around three, I disliked going to Mesa because it was crowded and when I try to do my work during class there would always be a person who interrupts the class for attention. I ended up not caring about school eventually because of the people.

This school has helped me earn the credits I need to graduate from high school and that is the main reason I like this school. I will miss being able to play basketball at lunch and having a place where my friends and I can just hang out. But one thing I definitely won't miss is the people who are constantly talking out loud, trying to get the teachers attention for their own satisfaction. After years of dealing with those kinds of students in class, I will finally be done with it.

The teachers here in Back Bay have been so helpful in many ways like catching me up on my credits, Mr. Kovac really helped me by putting me in his computer class. Each day I would write about an article I had to read and for each assignment I completed I received one credit. When I had partial credits for certain classes, I also took home packets to finish and turn in the next week. I liked having new classes each semester because I had the chance to meet almost all the teachers on campus.
