But I saw magic in that city. I saw my first Broadway…

The transition from middle to high school is an exhilarating yet trying time in a student’s life. One loses touch with old friends while discovering new friends, norms, rules, and lifestyles. As I immersed myself into this transition, I discovered a spark ignited in me.

Because I discovered this spark early on, I have grown socially and academically throughout the years…

The situation I encountered is an experience I will not forget. Today it feels as if it was just yesterday, I went to Haines city high school.

I always attended school but when it came to getting serious in class, I took it as a joke back then, I took everything as a joke, life hadn’t hit me yet, I was dumb and I didn’t realize at the time what consequences my actions would have. For example, senior year, I was…

Interviewer: How was school like before the incident happened at Pleasant High? How do you like school after the incident? Which did you like more? Thomas Bishop: I loved school.

High school came to an end May 15 for me, and I believed college wouldn't be much different, but I wasn't entirely correct. Many things changed which I had to accustom myself to, from living on my own, to making sure I ate correctly, but little did I know that I would have to change my study habits. For as long as I can recall, I have been using the same study habits throughout high school. I believed and was taught to memorize, but I also realized that even though I would pass my test with…

That's all I could think about all day during school that day. Finally getting a chance to just be in an open gym with the girls I've been watching play for three years, even though I still had a year before I was in high school. That was me.
