The clock is ticking and I am now only a month and a half away from my first day at Crossroads. I get more and more excited each day. A couple of days ago I had a meeting with the dean for incoming ninth graders, Mitch Kohn, and he helped me set up my new schedule for Crossroads. My new classes are French 1, English 1, World Civilizations 1,  Geometry or Geometry Honors (Depending on how I did on the placement test), regular P.E., Biology 1, Film Studies, Community Awareness, Connections, and three free periods. My schedule might be changed later into my year because community awareness is a semester class on how to get students started on community service. I look forward to French 1 because it is a new language and gives me the chance to become tri-lingual. I also look forward to connections because connections a class where students speak about their lives and open up and I hope this will help me make my voice heard more. Every day I at Crossroads I learn more about it. In my meeting with Mitch, Mitch taught me the crazy schedule at Crossroads. Crossroads has alligator, bear, and cow days. Each day the periods switch around except for the periods after lunch, which are depending on what day it is. The more I learn about Crossroads, the more I look forward to going to my new school and my new environment.
