Christine's Story
School
Many people who attended here the first year it was the Ninth Grade Center might not remember me because I only attended for half the year. I continued high school by being home schooled. I had to be home schooled due to illness (fibromyalgia) then undiagnosed. Anyways, what I remember most from ninth grade were my three close friends Jenn Wunsch, Jen Stinski and Liz Neff.
I havn't talk any of them in years but I still remember them and the time I spent with them in the affectionatly termed "Blob" (the movie) buliding.

Instead of gym (hated sports then) I walked around my neighborhood. Instead of home-economics I learned how to knit. Now I still had courses like science, math, history and english but I didn't have in class work and homework combined because all of it was homework if you think about it.

So in the end it was better for me accademically to be home schooled because I learned and retained more of the information I was suppose to. However I wish that I had been able to get to know some of you better by staying in school longer.
