For sophomores and seniors, Lewiston High School can look like a very different place. Seniors talked with the Purr to look back through their years at LHS and give advice to sophomores.
  From senior Jade Fischer’s view, high school is a puzzle.
  “You build the frame and slowly put the pieces in to create a picture,” she said. “The hardest part is putting the frame together.”
 Many seniors agreed that sophomore year, while not quite as bad as junior high, can be just as confusing. Every experience is different — high school is either the worst or best three years of a person’s life depending on who shares an answer.
  Gracyn Richardson is a sophomore who came to LHS from Jenifer Junior high.
  According to her and Christyauna Wren, sophomore from Sacajawea, high school is turning out to be better than junior high.
  “I love the high school because people are a lot more accepting,” said Richardson. “I don’t really dislike anything…maybe some of the school lunches,” she joked.                                                       
  Richardson said she felt that high school brings students closer to each other compared to junior high.
  When asked which classes were their favorite neither Wren nor Richardson could decide on just one.
  “I really like my classes because the teachers are more engaged,” Richardson said after some thought.
  Seniors Fischer and Dutch Raymond had about school and life.
  “Procrastination seems like a cool idea at first, but it isn’t so cool when you’re failing all of your classes,” said Raymond about school work.
  His advice regarding conflict with friends was insightful.  
  “When bad things happen in life, you might feel depressed or angry, but time moves on and with time comes healing,” Raymond said. “Basically everything that’s going wrong now will get better.”
  Fischer’s advice for making friends was to join clubs and student activities.
“Do concessions, join band or choir and just figure out where you fit in,” Fischer said. “Find new interests, even if you’re going to the meeting by yourself.” Get involved with school activities, it will help lessen the stress of a new environment.
  “Before you know it,” Fischer reflected, “you’re walking down the line to get your diploma and you’re done with high school.”
