Free Write

Since this is a free write, I choose to freely write in the comfort of my own dorm room. This is because I really need to continue studying, and it just takes so long to go anywhere in this town. My hometown is only 330 strong so it really only takes 3 minutes to go from one end to the other.... walking.

My high school was also extremely small. We were unified with a town fifteen miles away that was only slightyly bigger than us on account of their senior citizen population. The school's class sizes; however, were quite a bit smaller than us. My class in Bruning was about fifteen depending on who moved in or out that year. The class from Davenport was only five. Together we made Bruning-Davenport Unified School District, or BDUSD for short.

Despite our small size (my graduating class was 21 with two foreign exchange students), we were pretty good at sports. Up until my junior year, both boys and girls basketball made it to state every year. From the time we unified, our football team won one more game per year until we won State my junior year. Last year we made playoffs but were eliminated before state. And our volleyball team.... was our only losing team.

Not only was our sports teams pretty amazing, but our Speech and Drama team were awesome. In my high school career alone, we had two district runners up, one state runner up, and one state championship in One Act. In speech we had one state runner up, and three consecutive state championships. We're kind of a big deal.

Despite all the politics and drama, I really enjoyed going to a small school. We all knew each other extremely well. I knew if I needed someone to pull me out of a ditch there were at least 20 people willing to do it. There was also a very strong support system. I knew my classmates parents and my teachers really well. I would often go into their classroom just to talk to them about nothing in particular. I make fun of my small school a lot, but I know I wouldn't trade it for anything.
