It was a chilly Monday night‚ and I was sitting in the Ed Landreth Building for the first time since the summer before my junior year of high school‚ when I attended the TCU All State Choir Camp. I reveled in the sights and sounds of the music department; every sound felt familiar to my entire high school choir career.

My Freshman Year This was my first year at Sublette High School‚ and I can not believe that it has already flown by like the wind blows the leaves. I remember someone saying to me when I was starting high school that it will go by so fast‚ and it has.

Next year‚ I am going to improve as a student and a musician. As a sophomore

My first day at Larned High School started like every first day before me. The principal‚ Mr. Langdon‚ gathered all the students and welcomed us into a new school year. The speech as long but informational. It was a familiar speech that I had heard every first day of school. Unfortunately‚ this familiarity would end‚ and now I was stuck roaming the halls in a new school looking for my first class. Biology was my first and became my favorite class at Larned High School. My instructor‚ Miss Moser‚

They used to tell her not to make a lot of friends. Even though Blen was a socializing person‚ she didn’t get a chance to make a lot of friends
