School expresses Emotions are an essential part of everyday life and impossible to live without. School brings out many emotions students possess whether it’s through sports, academics or relationship with the opposite sex. Sadness and happiness may be brought on by a game, grades, or that certain “guy” or “girl.” School can generate feelings of friendship. It is often a place where one meets his or her “first love,” which hopefully blooms into an everlasting relationship. Students can usually become acquainted with lifetime friends through school. Another dreaded emotion manifested in school is embarrassment. Remember how slippery the lobby is during the winter? How many times people manage to fall in front of everyone sitting on the ledge? Times when the obvious answer to a question is given incorrectly and the entire class breaks emotion out in laughter causes embarrasment. Another emotion developed because of school is hate. Getting up early, eating the cafeteria food, and enduring a boring lecture are the negative emotions pertaining to school. Making the best of these emotions involved in school is the job of each individual and only he or she can decide if school will be a fun or dreadful necessary experience. Go Panthers Go!

Paul, the cutest guy in school asked Janie to the dance. Every girl around was envious of Janie. “You heard who Paul asked to the dance?” Jill asked her best friend Sara. “I heard,” Sara said, as she shook her head in disappointment. “How did you find out so quickly?” “I discovered from Sue who was there when it happened,” Sara explained. Annie and Carrie ran to the north hall, trying to catch a glimpse of their newest heartthrob. “Did we have to come this way?” Carrie asked. “It is twice as long to go this way than to go through the south hall.” “Yes, but Dave has French this hour and comes this way!” “Anne, I never knew that you were so smart,” Carrie exclaimed. “If I was really smart, I would have passed geometry.” After school, groups formed in the hallway. The couples stood in one corner and the athletes stood in another. The gossips moved together talking about what happened in the halls that day. n
