One week in and I’m already overwhelmed. With volleyball practice everyday after school I feel like I don’t have any time to do all my homework, yet I manage to get it all done. I’m still trying to figure out the harbor, and memorize my schedule so I don’t have to look at my iPad every 39 minutes. It’s been very hard adjusting to a new school and it’s especially hard not having classes with some of my closest friends, but I think that it’s for the best because it gave me opportunities to meet new people. We’ve already had three games this season and so far we are undefeated. Whenever someone asks me how school is, I always tell them that I love it and I’m happy where I am. Some people ask me why I didn’t go to Fontbonne since my sister and my mother went there. I think that not just one school is for everyone. When I decided I was going to Xaverian I was so excited yet nervous at the same time. I was afraid of what other people would think about my choice to go to Xaverian. I felt that I had to continue the “legacy” that my mother and sister left at Fontbonne. I later realized that I am continuing a legacy, just not their legacy. When I started to use my brothers “legacy” to my advantage everything became easier. So now, when I hear my friends saying they don’t like school, I get to say that I’m proud of my descision no matter what anyone says.
