My Sophomore Year In Review

Wow, time really has flown. It seems like only yesterday when I was taking my uniforms out of their spot in the back of my dresser, coming back to Central after summer vacation, and seeing many of my friends for the first time since the last day of freshmen year. I cannot even believe it.

I remember going to homeroom, getting our schedules, locks, and new lockers. I talked to many people as we shared our great summer stories, wishing that it could still be summer, but the year kicked off with new classes, new teachers, and even meeting new friends. I had some great times with my friends at the Taste of ACC and other home football games, and I had a blast during Homecoming Week. I went to most of the home basketball games and enjoyed being part of the Blue Crew. Our student section is so much fun. Even though it is crowded, our school has great school spirit. I went to the musical where I watched my friends show their love for acting. I was in two band and chorus concerts. I was busy with many projects this year and homework from some very interesting classes.

I had great times with my friends this year in class, at a home game, in clubs, and everywhere else. I joined a new club this year and found out that staring at a chessboard was something I enjoyed. I had a great time being on the chess team, especially when we beat Marmion twice this year. I had a winning record and a second place trophy in the open in conference. That was something I never expected, but I am so glad I joined the team. There is a good lesson that I learned this year, and I hope every junior, sophomore, and freshman tries to do it next year: Do not be afraid to try new things, because you will never know if it is something you might enjoy, especially if you were not in any extracurricular activities this year.

Sophomore year is going to be a memorable one for me, and I hope this year was a great one for everyone, especially for the seniors. I am going to miss you all. Good luck in college.
