What I actually learn at WHS

           Weston High School is a very prestigious, competitive school filled with intelligent students that most likely attend a good college or even an ivy league. (This is a generalization, but you get my point.)

My mental notes from WHS; What I've learned. 

            Students learn so much in classrooms such as how to find the area of a triangle, what the color yellow means in The Great Gatsby, how to take an AP Spanish test, and that there is more protein in an egg white than in the yolk (DNA class).

            Even though this information is important I want to focus on what I actually have learned from showing up to school for the past three years.    

-Weston Road Café is not a creepy hole in the wall, but actually has the best ice coffee that melts in your mouth with every sip.

-When going a considerably safe amount over the speed limit, I can get to school in seven minutes flat.

-Schmoop is better than sparknotes.

-“Sauced” is not the action of putting something on your pasta, but it’s Weston vernacular for when someone gets dissed. 

-The rope swing near my house is safe to jump off of and has a safe depth of water for landing.

-Linden has good sandwiches and isn’t a random office building.

-There is a Dunkin Donuts at Regis College.

-When someone says “optional” or “recommended” it most likely means “necessary unless you want an F.”

            To me WHS is not just where I attend school, do everything I can to succeed in classes and create relationships, it’s where I discover the world around me. Everyone focuses on what the students at WHS have learned in the classrooms and how well they do, but I wanted to, for once, focus on what students learn outside of the classroom.
