rough draft

The idea of building another high school in Ann Arbor sounds horrific for some Ann Arborites while others are taking in the new high school with open arms. As for me, I'm sitting on the sideline rooting for the new high school to open its doors with success. 'Why?' do you ask? The answer is simple; there were and still are too many kids jam packed inside of Ann Arbor's public high schools.
I was a student of Pioneer Highschool and somehow walking through the halls felt like walking through the crowded streets of New York City. The moment the bell rings and kids shuffle out of their classrooms to head for their next class, the halls would become a sea of students with a current slower than my grandmother on her walker. Everyday I was unwillingly sandwiched in between bodies while walking down the halls, and it really wasn't fun. My graduating class (painfully long graduation) consisted of about 800 students, and each new class that comes into Pioneer is only getting larger. There was about 3,000 students walking cluttering the halls, and I can only imagining the number increasing for each new school year.
Seeing the construction of Skyline High School, the new high school, being built is truly a blessing for future students. This new school will help decrease the ludacrious number of students in Pioneer and Huron. Skyline Highschool is planning to be up and running by the fall of 2007, which is not too far away. Obviously, Skyline High won't change my crowded highschool experiance, but it will save the younger generations from being mauled by bodies in the halls, waiting in long lines to use the bathroom, and wasting half their lunch hour to get their hands on some food. This is a change for the better, and I hope that students will appreciate Skyline High School.




i know i don't have pictures, sooooorry. This is a rough draft, so the only thing that can happen is making this better. I'm planning on posting photo's of Pioneer and Skyline High, so no worries.
