Everyone tells you that high school exists to “prepare you for life ahead.” But, I completely disagree. “Life ahead” doesn’t actually start until after college.

After elementary school, many of my friends went on to schools that feed to Myers Park and Providence, or they enrolled in private schools. Still more switched schools during my years at McClintock. I, however, along with others, continued on to East Meck. Had I followed the... Read more »
