Disburse

Hiya! Today has been a really cloudy and windy day, kind of matches the mood around our school. Just as the clouds rolled in last evening, so did the news. This is the last year our school will be open. As seniors, we are all relieved that we are graduating, but as a family with four grades, to be losing our home and to learn all at once that we all have to go our separate ways, this is a very sad day. For those of you who don't know, I go to a small private school in Phoenix called Tesseract with only about 100 students. I mean it whole heartedly when I say I have never once heard of a school like this one and it will be severely missed. At this school students are seen as people; as friends and are never just numbers.

I sit here in my last hour every day watching students and teachers conversing as they would their own friends and even the classes are made so much better because of how much students are encouraged to speak out as well as the class sizes themselves. My smallest class this year had 4 people in total while my largest had about 18. But small classes and outgoing teachers isn't the point of this. Since attending this school, I have not only been granted numerous times to explore my passions in curricular classes through artistic freedom, but have also gotten the chance to travel further than I ever imagined.

In the past four years I have walked the Colosseum in Italy and learned about it's history as well as experienced for the first time a different culture, explored the under waters of California and learn the numerous micro-organisms of the sea, trekked the Great Wall in China and learn about its ancient history as well as even be apart of the culture by living with a Chinese family for a week, and interned this past April at Phoenix Theatre to get some experience in something I'd like to pursue as a career. 

Of course with every school there is some gossip, but everyone is close with each other and never leaves another out of anything. One of my favourite examples is when the seniors all met up one morning at Ihop and even invited a couple of our teachers. When we went on our senior hike at the beginning of the year, afterwards our teachers took us out to 32nd and Shea and bought us breakfast. But it's not just outside class that was fun, inside class he teachers all taught us at an advanced level. The curricular at Tesseract is automatically basically taught at an AP level. I may have just been ranting to you, but I just wanted to out it out there that such an amazing school, a school where students can express themselves both curricularily and not, where students write and perform their own scripts and are even approached to get them published, where we are more than a school; where our family is coming to an end as our school closes down. 

Well other than that weighing on us, it's been alright since my last journal. Been working on Lumina and I'm almost done with chapter 10 finally lol, soon hopefully I'll start putting up the chapters (Yes what I have already put up will be different a bit so don't just completely ignore it, lol). Sadly I still need to fix my computer so drawing is off the grid for now (though I'm not that good anyway so it's not a worry). Uhhhmmm, I started on my graduation dress excited about that! Graduation is on the 28th! Way too soon, lol. Then i'll be heading to ASU!!! Soo, it seems like I've made this long enough. I'm gonna go drown in netflix and stuff, have a fantabulous week! Thanks for reading.
