so today I finally received the transcript that I order from Texas so I can apply to be a substitute at the local high school. It seems like a lot of fun and I would get paid almost $80 a day. It was today that I started to reminisce on my time as a TCHS student.
i remember the first day of freshman year. i wore this orange billabong shirt that i also wore on the last day of school (i was kinda weird about that stuff. i think i did that 7th-9th grade). i didn't really know what to expect finally being at high school. i had an older sister who was a senior and an older brother who was a sophomore so i guess you could say i knew a lot of people. i knew that i wanted to play basketball so i got into the class. big mistake. i was almost immediately moved to PE and i did that for an entire year. lame. all of my other friends were in tennis 7th period. it was because i wanted to play basketball that I got stuck their. even when i was on the team i still was in PE. it wasn't that bad although there was this one time where this white kid tried to tell everyone that i had stolen profit's gold chain from the locker room when it was in fact him. i had a weird run in with that gang at the powderpuff game that year. but yeah, freshman year was alright
sophomore year i didn't make the same mistake again. my basketball career was over so i just stuck with tennis. i was the #2 player on the tennis team because i had beaten bryan h and i didn't play him again until after the team tennis season was over. that was the year that robert and i had to play two of the best tennis players to ever come out of friendswood. it was awesome. they demolished us. it was sophomore year when i went to my first party at chad k's. it was really awkward because there was some sort of rave going on inside and i don't even remember who i went with. i think it was rob. but nonetheless, it was lame. oh yeah, this was the year that i got confirmed in the catholic church. big woop.
junior year was extremely awkward. this is the year that i remember least from. maybe it was because that was when i started working. i started working at gringo's and for the most part it was fun but then some people started acting really weird towards me. i think i started going out more than i had the years before and that was fun i guess. that new years was a really fun one at travis' house. that was when that one guy got stabbed. drama. one of the ups of that year was that I got hired to be a lifeguard at the tc pools that summer. i really wanted to be a lifeguard because my sister was one and they always had the most fun and had the best parties during the summer. i was on junior guard for graduation which is the best/most popular ten junior boys and girls chosen by the school. that summer was a lot of fun. being a lifeguard was a lot of fun. it was at the end of junior school year that i started going around the crossroads crew which would pretty much set up my next couple of years
senior year started with a bang. i remember the night before school started, madison drew, kim and i went around and tagged all the seniors' cars. i had a new group of friends and a new church. i started attending grace and started hanging out with those guys and stopped my crazy ways. i somehow got a lot of positions in school. i was senior class treasure, honor choir president, NHS sgt. at arms. i was taking a full course load and also honors government. this was when i started hanging out with cotton and austin and drew and george and shawn and the kauffmans. i also went on a mission trip to mexico that christmas which was awesome! oh yeah, i got into Texas that december and A&M shortly after that. i didn't work during senior year because i convinced my parents that i was too busy with school and tennis and everything else. nonetheless, i got a lot closer with these dudes which was awesome. i see now that God was setting those relationships up. i was confused on which school i should go to for a bit because I had received a good scholarship from a&m that i wasn't even expecting. i also went skiing for the first time slash traveled on a plane for the first time. i went to boston as well and had so much fun! that easter was when someone keyed my truck. i graduated and it was a lot of fun. i also got extremely sick that summer. til this day, i still don't know what it was or what made me get sick. i was having some crazy stomach pains. it was intense. my appetite went away and it was horrible for a week. i was a lifeguard that summer as well and it was interesting. i started hanging out with another group of people on top of hanging out with cotton and them. then, on august 27th? i moved into my dorm to start college :)
so, that's just a quick recap of high school. it was alright. i think hs would have been a lot better if i had played a legit sport and was good at it. i know a lot of people in my high school had their theories and thoughts about me but none of them really knew who i was. while they were stuck here in texas city, i got to go to the best university in the world and have the time of my life. i made plenty of friends at UT, friends that I will keep for the rest of my life. high school isn't the best time of your life; college is. i firmly believe that. so that's why I don't even bother with them or their lame beliefs. trust me, i never for once thought about them when i was in Austin but i can guarantee you they were thinking about how much fun i was having. sorry if that sounds rude but some of these kids made parts of my high school career hell. i mean, i don't want to point and laugh at them I think that's one of the only things that is keeping my time here in texas city so bearable. it's because i know this isn't my life and that there are better places out there and that i will not be living here for long. and you can count on that.
