In Puerto Rico a Private School is a huge priviledge, you get a good education and you become a bilibngual, however in public schools you get something that I can't really call education, but that's how they call it. well I went to a private school my whole life Bonneville School, a private school in cupey, I went there since I entered Pre-K in 1997 until September 2009. that's alot of years, isn't it. Well I got kicked out, not only kicked out, but kicked out in my senior year, of course they had a good reason to kick me out but well, it just happened!... so of course I already had a school in mind, my father said that I was going to public school, because he cannot pay a private school, my grandpa used to pay for my school. So I have a neighbor that goes to "Escuela Superior Ramon Vila Mayo" (Ramon Vila Mayo High School) so I went and I got accepted. sweatdrop I was really nervous on my first day which was September 23rd 2009. surprised my neighbor and all the other seniors were on a field trip, so I basically did not take class that day, but they arrived at lunch and my neigbor introduced me to some people, we really get along now. ok.. When you're in private school they say that a public school is the worst thing ever and that people are like really mean to those that come from a private school and all of that! but I must say that at least in my case that is all bullshit, cuz everyboduy was nice to me and they made me fell welcomed. Ok, so let's talk about the school in general.. Private school Vs. Public School = a really huge change, is exacly the opposites. in a priovate school you get in trouble for almost everything, even for using your cellphone in lunch time (they suspended me for that once sad ) in a public school you are more independent, if you want to enter the class you go if you don't want to then you dont, you can do almost whatever you want, you're independent, sure they call your mom to let her know about those things that you do wrong but is up to her to make you do them, the teachers don't really care, neither does the director. it's really weird cuz I've been in a private school all my life and that sudden change really shocked me! eek I've been in Vila Mayo since september 23 and I've been doing great, ohh about academics, Supermegaubbereasy!! everything I'm taking I already took, it's like I'm not learning anything, and believe me sometimes I ger frustrated. cuz I feel like i'm wasting my time going there, but I still need to go cuz I have to graduate.. but i get over it eventually.. sometimes I get frustrated cuz I miss my chumps from bonneville, and I have to admit that I sometimes cry crying but that's life, it's all a learning experience, you learn by the mistakes you make. and I learned my lesson. and I have to pay the consecuences for my acts.

I want to take this lil' space to say to all the people that I hurt, to all the people that cried because of me, my mom, my dad, my friends, my teachers, and God. that I'm trully sorry for what I did.. and well I'M SORRY! heart
