The CHIEF September 2023

Going from a small school to having to transition to Pontiac Township High School has definitely had its challenges, such as learning my way around the hallways, staying on top of all my assignments, and even trying to find a new lunch table to sit. I asked another freshman classmate of mine, Casey Taylor, what has been one of the biggest challenges for her. She said, “Graduating Odell Grade School, with a class as small as eighteen students and having to get used to the eight period class schedule is definitely a challenge. As time goes on, I’m sure my fellow classmates and I will adapt to the new environment.” Casey explained how the first couple of weeks have gone perfectly! As a freshman myself, I recommend getting involved, especially with an activity that starts in the fall but has open gyms, meetings, or camps in the summer. Doing a sport like volleyball gave me a head start on making new friends which has helped me tremendously. One last tip I have as a freshman is to really focus on your grades. I know with the help of my teachers and classmates, I will be able to have the best scores possible. With this advice, I hope everybody continues to have a great rest of the semester and amazing school year! Class of 2027: Freshman Perspective By: Taylor Henson
