Top Ten things at Oak Hill

As you all know, I’m Taylor Wotton. I’ve been at Oak Hill for 9 years. Some of you have known me since kindergarten and first grade, but others just from 6th grade on. I am here trying to get this commencement speech over with because it is required to graduate. So, I am going to list 10 things that I have learned and appreciated at Oak Hill in these past four years.

1. There was NEVER a swimming pool in the weight room.
2. Learning to avoid the huge mysterious carpet stains in the hallway
3. Having Mr.Carney for Advisory AND Raider connection
4. Mrs. Bourassa has always been a little crazy, but now I understand why
5. Mr.Wright will refer to you as Zippy if he does not remember your name. Or even if he does.
6. The school is either super cold or super hot. There is NEVER a happy medium.
7. You will do 2 hours straight of membean at least once if your life.
8. Creating new friendships with people I never would have thought would happen
9. Having won 4 winter carnivals in a row.
10. Also. do not. By any means. accidently break off a key on your laptop. Because tech world will charge you $50.00 for it.

These 10 things are just a few things that I will remember from my experience at Oak Hill High School. Even though I am ready to leave this place and not have to deal with any of the underclassmen ever again, I will miss walking the halls with my friends during lunch. Or visiting Mrs.Bourassa between periods. I will miss sitting in the windows, soaking up the sun, and always wishing we were aloud to go into the fishbowl. I am ready though. I am ready to see all my friends go their own way and live their life. Some people say high school is the best four years of your life, and I would say even though my years had their ups and downs, they were pretty good in my opinion.
