What was the best aspect of attending your high school? My favorite aspect of high school was going off on weird tangents in conversations with friends and teachers. It did not matter how insignificant or boring a topic was, we would always find a way to make it interesting.

What will you miss most about high school? The thing that I will miss the most about high school will be going to all of the sporting events. I may not have been able to comprehend what exactly was going on some of the time, but I always enjoyed rallying behind my classmates.
