Short Response Three

I went to private school for nine years and i loved every second of it. This is probably something you dont hear very often but the whole time i was in private school i never hated my parents for putting me there, or wished i could have been like the normal kids and went to public school.
This is pretty much where my education started good old our lady of hope i loved how small it was i loved that i knew every person that worked there and they knew me i loved that i had stayed with the same group  of kids for nine years i even loved the uniform there was only one problem our lady of hope stopped at grade eight.
Which left me attending this lovely Baltimore county school Sparrows Point. my first day was..welll rough i felt alone like i had no one to talk to and even if someone did talk to me i didn't know what to say to them i had no idea how to talk to kids that werent from private school because in my mind i felt like they werent good enough to be my friend. My second day of school i made the mistake of telling a girl " you dress so nice for a girl who lives in north point village" needless to say me and her did not hit it and i was soon taking lessons on how to talk to people.
I had a very hard time dealing with the separation from our lady of hope i went from being the girl that knew every in and out of a school to the weird snobby private school girl and it wasnt until about my 10th grade year that i learned the right social skills, i learned the ins and outs of the school and i learned how to be a normal teenager.
 
i can almost relate my experience to a knock off version of mean girls.

After CCBC I plan on going to Goucher it is a small school that has a lot of females and is in a nice city setting and it isn't very far away from home. I feel like this school is a good fit for me because it is smaller and i think a big school would be overwhelming i also feel like since there are not a lot of guys there i will be able to focus on school work more and since it is close to home it won't be a huge transition because i will still be able to live at home.I also feel like the transition from ccbc to this four year college will not be as hard because i will kind of know what to expect rather than coming from straight out of high school.
