In the morning we woke up at 6:30 am and we would leave home at 7:30 am. Once at school we met friends of my penfriend, Abigail Sutton in a corridor. Then we went to history class. That class began with a kind of patriot oath for all pupils. The classes last one hour and half, that’s quite long but they have time to do a lot of activities and works.
Then, all pupils have a « club time » : it’s nor a class and neither a free time. For example they can do some actions to help poor people all over the world in a club supervised by a teacher. It’s 30 minutes long. After that, we had to go to mathematics class. Next we went to english literary class (we studied the french play : Cyrano de Bergerac) for one hour and a half interrupted by 30 minutes for lunch time, it’s very short.
The last class was gym. This typical high school has amazing buildings mainly for sports : football field, soccer field, baseball field, softball field, basketball courts and tennis courts. There are also a theater, a place for orchestra or a garage for mecanichal classes.
The school ended at 3 pm and the pupils can come back home or participate to different sport teams : cheerleading, baseball, wrestling…
Enka High School can be considered a typical American high school. That was an incredible experience for me to discover this universe, very different from high school in France.
