Boring...Just Wait!

Most people think that living in a small town is one of the most boring things that could happen. Well, sometimes it is, but what goes on under the surface is what makes small town life bearable. Sure people spend most of their time on the computer or on other activities, but high school is what makes things fun. At my school about 7/8 of the like 400 8th-12th grade kids don't go to school to learn, obviously. My freshman has been quite interesting. I've done more traveling in the last year than I have in about 3 years. I was a manager for a football team with a "perfect" record, and I made a friend that no matter what, I'll never be able to forget. Small town high schools are like all the others, but see how long you can keep a secret in your school, then cut the result in 10ths. :)
