I have my mom an dad, a teenage little sister, and my 9-year-old miniature dachshund. You'll hear the occasional car go by or children playing in the street, but usually nothing more. ]]> 2020-08-10 13:38:27 UTC https://padlet.com/vaboatright/ujlul7m3w4zv918q/wish/674213598 VABoatright https://padlet.com/vaboatright/ujlul7m3w4zv918q/wish/674213771 The screaming and yelling of the student section cheering for the football team, the band playing a stand tune next to them, and the smell of lord knows what in the air on a Friday night. Some of my best memories were made in this stadium with my flute section. There's nothing quite like dancing to music in the stands with your friends or going out for a performance during half time. Nothing quite tops a Friday night football game.]]> 2020-08-10 13:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/vaboatright/ujlul7m3w4zv918q/wish/674213771 VABoatright https://padlet.com/vaboatright/ujlul7m3w4zv918q/wish/674215977 There is always the sound of children and teenagers laughing and playing on the playground during the weekends. You'll hear birds chirping and dogs barking as you walk along the trail pathways. This is a popular spot to take sunset pictures with your friends or just somewhere to be silly even though you're almost 18. ]]> 2020-08-10 13:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/vaboatright/ujlul7m3w4zv918q/wish/674215977 VABoatright https://padlet.com/vaboatright/ujlul7m3w4zv918q/wish/674216537 This may seem like a pretty mundane place to many, but in my small town this is where you can find almost half the student body before school starts. There's chatting as we wait for Starbucks to make our drinks, kids (and teachers) getting last minute project supplies or lunch food. Even on weekends, if you go to Kroger you'll probably see at least five different people that you know. ]]> 2020-08-10 13:40:29 UTC https://padlet.com/vaboatright/ujlul7m3w4zv918q/wish/674216537 VABoatright https://padlet.com/vaboatright/ujlul7m3w4zv918q/wish/674217452 Canton Marketplace is the major shopping center in Canton. It has food like Chick-Fil-A and McDonalds to retail stores like TJ-Maxx, Five Below, and Target. Goofing around in Target with friends is a favorite weekend activity for many high schoolers. My personal favorite spot is Books-A-Million, you'll always find me checking out the newest books (or the clearance section). ]]> 2020-08-10 13:41:09 UTC https://padlet.com/vaboatright/ujlul7m3w4zv918q/wish/674217452 VABoatright https://padlet.com/vaboatright/ujlul7m3w4zv918q/wish/680245498 The smell of coffee permeates the air of this small café that I worked at for two years. There's beautiful plants and various animals to be found outside, my favorite of which are the dogs people bring in with them while they shop. I spent two years making many, many lattes and milkshakes, baking cookies and quiches, an yes, dealing with the occasional "Karen".]]> 2020-08-14 13:36:14 UTC https://padlet.com/vaboatright/ujlul7m3w4zv918q/wish/680245498 VABoatright https://padlet.com/vaboatright/ujlul7m3w4zv918q/wish/680260001 Probably one of the best, and worst, places in the entire town. In the mornings, you'll find kids everywhere from in the library trying to hurriedly do the homework due in thirty minutes to in the hallways joking around before class starts. There are many things that happened in this school that I'll never forget, such as the hush that comes over a classroom during a test or the laughs of my classmates from a joke. This school has seen many terrific days and tragic nights, but it was always still just one thing: A high school.]]> 2020-08-14 13:44:31 UTC https://padlet.com/vaboatright/ujlul7m3w4zv918q/wish/680260001
