My freshman year of school I attended Carnegie Vanguard high school. For 10th grade I came to International, because it is much closer than Carnegie (an hour away). I also wanted more time to pursue my own interests, because Carnegie is packed with school work, leaving no free time, or social life.
The classes I believe that I was least successful in at Carnegie would be Latin, and AP Human Geography. In Latin we immediately constructed a play, not even understanding what was said in our script. This play took a large amount of our time, ultimately keeping us desperately behind, throughout the whole year. Human Geography happened to be a big jump in history for me, because of the 2 years I spent almost without it, because of the teacher’s personal problems. I started learning the basics again, and learning something entirely new, through this college course.
However, the classes I would consider are my best classes would e baseball, because of all the streets laid on the students at Carnegie. I would get rid of all my worries by running bases, and batting baseballs. Academically I would say Human Geography was my best course, because even though it is my least successful class, it is the class that I worked the hardest in, which made it successful through hard work.
The most memorable moment from my freshman year would be where it was a snow day, but we still had school. Our whole campus was covered in snow, and every student went out to play not caring about the cold, but the snow falling down on them. In about 5 minutes they all ran inside with their bodies completely red, and shivering.
Some things that International has that Carnegie does not is much more clubs, field trips, sports, and time to yourself. There was not much of a social life for anyone at Carnegie, even our lunch time had gotten shorter. But I am much happier than I was before at International high school.
