When I went to Hayesville for kinder to 1st grade, it was the best years of my life. I made so many great friends and connected with the teachers so well. I don't know any of them anymore because I changed schools. I'm in highschool now, I go to NSHS as a 9th grader and I could never forget the time I spent there; it was amazing. From waiting at the bus stop to riding it back to the apartments, I felt safe, I comfortable, I felt like I could be myself. But now everything is different, the people are different; the teachers are different. The students do things I'd rather not say. But for the most part they are generally good people. And finally, I just want to say that you should make the most out of school because it really is a chance to have a lot of fun. I was originally going to write about how I miss them, my friends (did I spell friends right?) and how I wondered how much different my life could have been if me and my family never moved. I actually only remember one of them, I think his name was Peter. There was also a girl, I don't remember her name though :( but I do remember they both lived in the same apartment buildings. It was a huge set of apartments that were labeled A-Z and they used to ask me to play outside with them. Of course I said yes every time. I think the place was called KC circle, that's what I called it. WOW, this got really long I think I spent like almost an hour writing this. Also there should be online yearbooks of all the students so you could see yourself when you were young. Just an idea.11/13/19 November 13, 2019.
