Well I think this year could be the year I finish. After five years of High School, four years in Mini, I am pretty sure I don’t want to be here anymore. I have just been waiting for Doug to retire so we can finish together. My first year as a sophomore was what I thought was the last “good” year. All of my friends were graduating but as Mini kept going so did I. It was hard at first to adjust to the new kids but I was once that new kid. It was now my turn to be the “leader” and teach others about Mini.
I am glad that I chose to come into Mini. I have gone a lot of places with Doug. He has taken me to the Boundary Waters twice. Once was a canoe trip the other was winter camping. I also was fortunate to go to Montana with him as well as the Big Fork River. Without Mini-School or Doug Berg I probably would never have seen any of those places and I probably would never have known Mark Warren.
Being a super senior isn’t so bad. If I was anywhere else I probably would have dropped out or gotten a G.E.D. Not to say that getting your G.E.D is a bad thing, it’s just not what I have been going to school five years for. The students, staff and fellow alumni have really made me realize how much there is to experience. Mini-School has given me life long memories and friends.
Thanks Mini
