Kirsten's Freshman Year

            Kirsten learned a lot freshman year. She made a lot of new friends. She thought that high school would be hard and challenging at first, but she quickly got used to the new environment. During the first couple of days at John Carroll, Kirsten had trouble opening her locker. She had other students in her advisory open it for her. Then, she could eventually open it herself. Having an older sister attending at John Carroll, Kirsten came to the school knowing a lot of things about the school and a lot of people. During her journey, she experienced many new things. She thought that taking Honors English would be a difficult class, but she ended up getting an A. She made friends with classmates and students on her teams. She was a cheerleader in the fall and winter and played badminton in the spring. She never won a match at badminton, but won the JV cheerleading championship. She liked Tuesdays and Thursdays at school because she had three mods off. She received First Honors each quarter with no grade lower than an A. She became good friends with Quinn and Grace. She had many inside jokes with Travis. Her favorite class was math and she was in Mr. Russell’s advisory. On her English class field trip, she hung out with Katie D. and they embarrassed themselves a lot. One time in the cafeteria, someone accidentally threw a poptart at her and it got all over her shirt. Another time her friends were joking around and had gotten ketchup everywhere. She went to homecoming with a group of friends. She liked cheering at football games. Overall, it turned out to be a great year for Kirsten.
