Mayson Claire Astle. Your idea was so cute I HAD to steal it. Duh.
10 days left until graduation. Top ten count down of favorite high school memories.
AP English. I'm not sure if this is allowed to count as one memory, but it's my blog, so it is. I love this class will all of my heart. I had days where I would sit on the floor reading scriptures and Tim Davis would ask me what was wrong, and days where I would draw pictures of the Miriam Love triangle and show then to Henry Davis and Reese. I had days where I sat outside in the hallway and Henry Lee would always come and find me as we looked at the atrium and talked so much more profoundly than high schoolers often do. There were days I learned what a satire was, and days Lydia and I would make the strangest faces and noises across the room at each other.
Sometimes I would sit in the back with BJ and we would just talk about all the stuff going on in our lives. I'd even take naps occasionally. I learned to love reading and writing even in books like
The Grapes of Wrath. I'd talk to Jae about strange things, but I always liked our conversations. I would listen as the "smart" kids would debate topics just because they knew they could. I'd talk to Allie, Catie, and Kirsti about their love lives and what was going on with them. We brought coloring books. I helped Miriam answer to prom in that class and also witnessed John asking her.
I was taught by the most incredible woman and teacher in the world, Mrs Van Orden. I felt accomplished coming out of each class and enlightened. It was unlike any other class I've ever taken.
It's number 10 for sure. That class is one of my greatest memories, I will never forget.
