A Dalat school year typically consists of a little less than180 school days. By the time this article gets published, close to a quarter of these days will have passed. As the end of September draws near and with only a week left in quarter one, it is about time that we as seniors recap on what has taken place over the past two months and plan on how to finish the remainder of our first quarter in our final year in high school well.
There were many events that took place in the senior class over the span of just the past two months, from the start of the school year: return of sports, Senior Sneak, After-Sneak Dinner, and Eagle Games. When asked what their favorite memory from quarter one was, an overwhelming majority of seniors replied: “Sneak”.
I think Joshua Emmanuel put it perfectly when he said, “It was a break from the busyness of school and a time to bond with classmates.” Indeed, Sneak was an incredibly memorable experience and will likely be one of the biggest highlights for many of us, not just in quarter one, but in the entirety of senior year.
For some, however, their highlight of the quarter has yet to come. When asked to reflect on quarter one, Adelina Chee replied, “I am looking forward to the choir trip to Bangkok this Friday [as of the time of this writing]. It will be a chance to get to know my classmates better and perform alongside other schools in front of a large audience. It will be a great way to finish this quarter.”
For others, finishing the quarter well carries a more practical meaning. Many students said that one thing they would like to get done before the start of fall break is their college applications so that they will be able to relax and not feel so pressured during quarter two.
Overall, quarter one has been a great experience for us, and we are looking forward to how the next quarter will unfold.
