"Through the Corridors of Memories"
The high school period has been a decisive period in my life which will always be
unforgettable. During this period I have had wonderful times with my friendship but also
bad times in which sometimes they weakened me inside and tried to destroy me.
The first memory I have from the high-school was the moment when I entered the yard
of the high school for the first time, which for me was a somewhat difficult moment. I
had emotions, from all sides I saw people I didn't knew, but also people I knew during the
cycle of 9 years. Inside I had a feeling that the friendship I would make here was not like
the one I had before, but the moment I entered the classroom, I noticed that most of the
people who were in the same class as me were the friendship I had grown up with 9
years ago. This made me very happy inside because I would have friends with whom I
would spend time in the first moments of high school.
Time passed and I started to get closer to other classmates as much as the teachers of
other classes praised us because we had created a harmony between each other during the
first 2 years together. We were considered the only class which, in every activity we did,
would have the highest participation as a class compared to other classes. Some of the
activities we did together that remain in my memory are the walks by the lake as a group,
the games we played in class during the break time such as “kaluc”, blind chicken, city-
state and many more funny games. Also we made several trips as a class which were:
Trip to Dardha during the first year where we visited the village of Dardha and used the
skis of the track in Dardha, Summer trip to Saranda where we visited many tourist spots
such as the Castle of “Gjirokastra”, “Butrinti”, “Syri I Kaltër” and many others, the trip to
Shkodra during the second year where we visited the city of Shkodra and the tourist areas
in it, as well as the end-of-year evening which was organized by all the classes of the
three years together.
The third year was really not what I expected. At the beginning, the third year seemed
like a very cold period for us as everyone was starting to leave each other due to the
curriculum of subjects which we did not all have the same but also the lack of free time
we had. We all started doing some courses in the subjects we had chosen so that we could
fulfill the desire to realize our dreams. During this period I had not very good emotional
moments due to stress and tension for the matriculation exams which were approaching.
We had to part at the branch we were going to follow but that didn't separate us and we
kept our friendship until today.
This period of high school had a great importance in creating the person that I am now
because during this period I got to know myself and those memories that I spent during
the time of high school became lessons that would stay with me throughout life.
