Enka High School
Every morning before going to high school, we went to an elementary school for like two hours. My pen friend, Kayla Justus, was learning how to lead and teach a 2nd grade and 3rd grade class, which is the equivalent of “CE1” and “CE2”.
She was doing this in the aim to attend the Appalachian State University next year and to major in Secondary Education at the end of the year.
Every day, Kayla and the teacher, Mrs Wallace, led me do some interesting things with the pupils linked with their lessons which was segregation. For instance I would read some books to pupils and I would help kids research some African-American figures like Angela Davis and Martin Luther King for example.
Then, we had to leave the elementary school to go to highschool. Her main classes this semester were English, an hour of autonomous study after lunch which obviously was kind of boring for me so I would meet Sarah in the fitness hall, and then she had Civics lesson.
It was such a great experience. I’ve met people which were totally different from each others sometimes. That was so cool and interesting.
Enka was a typical american high school that you can often see in Tv series like with football and baseball fields, the Cheerleaders, the gossips between different groups and obviously a totally different atmosphere than in France, which was like kind of stress free. I have really appreciated my experience here.
