In middle school my main goal was to get greats grades and go to an awesome top school High school. One day in the auditorium at Jane Long Middle school this man in a suit introduced his school. This was relatively small to the average school in HISD. For some reason this really intrigued me a school in which you get to know everybody and everybody knows you. One in which you get one-on-one attentions between student and teacher. I wanted to go to a school like that and in my mind I thought perhaps there will be less of a competition then going to a traditionally big high school.
My first year in International High school was awesome I made a mass of great friends from different parts of the world. I was honored to go on field trips to varies universities in Texas such as Baylor College of Medicine, St. Thomas, and the University of Houston. I was part of a school organization that goes by Student Government Association (SGA) and in it I was elected as freshmen representative. My grades were always on top, I always made sure I made high A's and B's in every subject even in Geometry. My favorite subjects at the time were AP Human Geography, Speech, Art and English.
My second year at International High School as a sophomore was very stressful I had three AP classes and a math class I really hated. Most of my friends from the previous year moved or didn’t really connect with me. In the middle of the semester my mother decided we should move to an area outside the HISD district. She wanted me to transfer schools but I did not want to. My mother had a talk with the principal Mr. Yu while I was just sitting crying my eyes out. We came to a compromise I can still attend IHS for the reminder of the school year. From that day forth I tried hard to get to school wither it was by car or metro. Most of the time I was late, so I started riding the early bus and stopped depending on my dad. On a normal school day I got home around five. This year brought about my favorite class which is Choir with Ms. Pizana. I love singing and telling jokes in the class. A bonus is that three of the best girls are in the class and they always make my day.
All in all my IHS memories will always be with me. It sucks that I will never be able to be a student at IHS since I have to attend a school in the Alief district. I will miss my awesome teachers and especially all the friends I have made. I hope the school achieves all its goals of college bound students and globally aware classrooms.
