homework assignment 9/5/18

My first day at John Carroll hasn't been a good one. I really miss the chaos of public school. School isn't really my thing, so truth be told I liked how I didn't have to pay attention, I could skip class, and not do homework and no one would care. Being at a ghetto public school is what I'm used to, and where I feel like I belong. It seems like everyone at this school is rich, whereas I can barely afford being here with a scholarship and I still had to get help from distant relatives. The hallways smell like money and the principal looks like Colonel Sanders, that's not exactly a bad thing because Colonel Sanders is very respected and successful. Everything about me is different from the people here. My dialect, the way I grew up, the sports I play and my interests. In public school, no one payed attention to those things because no one wanted to be there. We were all in that school for the same reason, to learn what we need to and graduate so we would never have to think about it again. This is a school where focusing and learning is important since we payed to be here. I don't seem to fit in with anyone in my classes either. Everything about this school stresses me out a lot. I don't like it here.
