High School Revisited

today I decided that I would revisit my old high school and see a few faculty members and despite how much I hated wc it's quite hilarious to observe the ignorance going on in that school mostly displayed by the students. anyways when I first arrived I was immediately bought back to the harsh reality of that school and I even sat in my car scared to get out due to the large amount of ignorance and ghettoness that was surrounding me. eventually my besty talked me into getting out and I walked up to the main office. . . the buildings were the same, nothing had changed there but the overall atmosphere was different and somehow (no matter how wrong it may be) I couldn't help but feel a little better than some of the kids inhabiting that school. there are some who just don't deserve to be there because they don't wanna help themselves.

at any rate I visited the guidance office first and received a lot of ragging because of my lip piercing but overall everyone was happy to see me and excited to find out how life at carolina was. I ran into a lot of people I knew and they were cool and most of them I am proud of because they're trying to do much better than west charlotte can ever offer or even prepare you far. next stop was my old favorite, ms. fils-aime. she's such an amazing teacher. great personality and what not, very cool but she also lays down the law and gets her job done no matter what. I basically spent the rest of my time with her laughing and watch her run junior class council (which I was a member of two school years ago). we had a wonderful time and she hasn't really changed which is good in most instances. 

I left there and went to see if I could catch ms. miller but she had already left and due to recent events I could see why you wouldn't linger around after school. she was such an amazing individual, really connected with her. besides her I also wanted to see michalski who was also a wonderful influence my junior year and helped me to love history again but as I said I spent all my time catching up with filsy. I think I may dedicate a day to each in order to make it fair.

overall wc has changed and sadly it's not for the better. it's like a school being run into the ground behavior wise. I don't know if the quality of children attending has gone down or if administration has but I will tell you that it's like a degenerate operation and I'm scared that soon it'll be inhabitable. all my insiders, the faculty and many students I know going there all said they don't know how much more than can take, that it's definitely gotten worse and that they don't know how much more they can stand of the school. I can understand why this would be so even in my two hours there. my return visit was fruitful, it made me remember why I need college, people gave me advice and "lectures" too. =] it's sad that I spend more time laughing at the ignorance while there instead of praising the excellence but that's because it's (excellence) is few and far between at that school. I hope one day dub c will regain the pride and I'll be there but until then I won't return many more times. mostly out of pity and a little bit out of fear. 

&& I'm out.
