School

My senior year is almost ending. I am very excited but at the same time I feel very nervous. There are certain things that I will miss about my school, since I've been studying here since I was 2. Chapel is a second home for me. For 15 years of my whole life I have had the same routine: wake up at 6 and come home at 3. Even though I am extremely tired of this routine and I'm looking forward to a fresh new start, I cannot help but feel a bit nostalgic.
One of the things that I will miss about Chapel is the food. I know that a lot of people don't like the food that is served here. However, I like to think that in other schools the food is way worse. I don't think that it is bad at all. We always eat something different everyday, which makes it even better, since we don't get tired of the food that is served.
Another thing that I will miss is the fact that I can speak in English at any time of the day and everyone will understand me. Since I am going to study in a brazilian university, all of my classes will probably be in portuguese. This is one of the hardest things that I will have to get used to. I will miss my classes in english SO much. It's a bit weird because even though portuguese is my first language, I still feel more comfortable wtih english.
The main things that I will miss abuot Chapel are my friends and teachers. I will miss the system that we have in our school. Most of the teachers are very competent and they know what they are doing. Being able to meet people from all over the world is probbaly the thing that I will miss the most. In a brazilian university, the odds of meeting someone from another country is very low.

  1. I totally agree with you about the food. I've been to a few different schools and Chapel has the best cafeteria food BY FAR! And it's relatively healthy and fresh, too--not easy to do.
