[RP] Difficult bonding

“I mean do you really like seeing your teacher every day? Or do you like seeing the same kids in your class every day.”

I saw this on Jazmin’s blog and decided to do a response blog on this. Like most students in Alameda High, I’m glad that block schedule finally starts; having to turn in assignments the very next day is a huge amount of work, even if I’m only taking five classes. And true, not every teacher you have are the nicest ones either, seeing them everyday definitely will be a pain in the ass. However I disagreed on the ‘not wanting to see the same kids’ part. I understand that seeing the same person every day can be boring, but it also gives a chance to actually bond with the other classmates, and not just friends.

Even though I have been studying in America for four years, I’m still not used to switching classrooms every period. Sure I get to see and know more people, but I missed the way my old school has been- same people and classrooms for all periods. Spending almost eight hours a day with the same people at the same place, it’s natural that everyone will start befriending with each other.  Here in Alameda High, I found that it is almost difficult to get to really know a person. People here grew up together and have already known each other for a long time. They already have their own group of friends they preferred to hang out with. Being an outsider who transferred to Alameda High in my sophomore year, whenever it comes to group projects, where it is obivous that I will be doing my work solo again, I would very much like to shoot myself.
