<p>ok,
i know everyone is super excited to go to school in september,
but you cant honestly say there is nothing you will miss about your old school.</p>
<p>i know that i will miss my amazing group of friends
and good old small town high school cheerleading and football :)</p>
<p>but i know ill make so many amazing new friends,
and i had the opportunity to cheer for my high school this year,
and there will be so many new opportunites,
that it wont even matter when i get to school in september</p>
<p>somewhere i heard/read
that someone didnt even talk to kids from their old school,
but i find that hard to believe because who do you talk to when you go home for breaks and stuff?</p>
<p>I’ll miss my family, and a couple of people I really like here. I’ll miss my apartment, and the bus ride, and all the brick, and the mountains, and the rain, and the school, and the teachers, and the language, and the guards in my building, and the Embassy, and downtown, and those people on the streets I never take to, and the shops with the ridiculously low-cleave shirts, and the chivas, and the rumba, and the disgusting Mexican candy, and…The list goes on. Trust someone with experience at leaving things behind: you’ll miss a lot more than you can imagine right now.</p>
I think that is because if you are leaving a public school, many of the breaks are at different times and then over time you grow apart.<br>
My children left public elementary school and my son has kept in touch with his friends. My daughter tried, but she is younger and it was harder. But if you ask my son who his best friends are, he will still name 3 from his old school. He doesn’t see them all that often, but they’ll always be friends. Now that he’s going away, I’m not sure how that will change.</p>
<p>My older son always maintained his friendships with his middle school friends. He his now in his fifth year of college and is 1000 miles away from home, and they still all keep in touch and get together whenever he comes home. The even visit him once a year during spring break (my son is in Florida).</p>
<p>My younger son only had one really close friend throughout elementary and middle school. He definitely still keeps in touch with him. The friend has even spent a w/e at my son’s school.</p>
<p>Wow…I could put up a huge list. School friends, sport friends, city friends, girlfriends (most of them), parents, the city, the girls, the nightlife, the care-free days, the crazy random snow days…I could go on</p>
<p>tanyoosha,
The mall is only about 10 or 15 minutes from Exeter…not sure how you’d get there though! (I imagine they probably have bus trips on the w/e’s).</p>
<p>It is actually maybe 20 (?25). For us in NH, that’s pretty close to a mall (closest mall to my house is a little over an hour).</p>
<p>I have a question: why do people write these random posts saying “20 seconds 11 seconds, etc.”? I’m just curious 'cause I’ve seen a few of them and I don’t get if it’s one of those CC things that makes sense to old timers or if it’s just…random.</p>
<p>You need to wait 60 (or 30?) seconds between posts. If you try to post before that, you get a message that says, “try again in XXX seconds.” They are typing the seconds in the post each time they don’t wait long enough.
Same thing with the # of Characters, the post must be at least 10, so you’ll see that sometimes too.</p>
<p>Tanyoosha, you may have malls within minutes but where keylyme lives there are ski areas and lakes within minutes. I’d take keylyme’s geography any day!</p>
