Buy an elevator ticket Entering freshmen fear high school The high school sure looks a lot bigger to me - maybe because this is my first day as a freshman. I am almost afraid to pass through the doors because of what I might sec. Wow! There surely are a lot of people in the halls. I think I’m supposed to go to the auditoriium.

Maybe that's what made our school special. With the combination of different personalities and morals, along with intercultural thinking, there were few problems we could not solve. We considered ourselves a kind of miniature melting pot. To any outsider, we must have looked like quite a bunch. Even so, being unique had become a way of life for us, and no one worried whether the rest of the world felt the AFTERSHOCK.
