Having the same advisory for three years has made school feel like a second home sometimes. At first, it was just another class, but over time it became something much more important. Every morning when I walk into the room, I feel comfortable and happy to be there. It is one of the only places at school where I can just rest and talk to my friend.
My teacher feels more than just a teacher sometimes. She feels like a parent at times because she truly cares about us and always wants the best for us. She notices when we are stressed, upset, or having a hard day, and she always checks in on us. Even small things, like asking how we are doing or making sure we are okay, it means a lot. Knowing there is an adult at school who cares makes advisory feel welcoming instead of just another class.
One of the best parts of my advisory is getting to see my best friend every single day. Over these three years, we became close, and I honestly do not know what school would be like without IT there, mostly just boring. We are always talking about something, acting goofy, making jokes, and sometimes laughing pretty loud. Even on boring days, we somehow find a way to make fun of each other. Those little moments made school so much more fun and gave me a lot of memories.
Being in the same advisory for so long gave us the chance to grow closer every year. We learned a lot about each other and became comfortable enough to be ourselves around one another. I don’t feel judged or hated around her, and that is something pretty cool to have. She became a good friend to me. She became someone I could trust, talk to, and count on no matter what mood I was in. Walking into class and seeing IT there every morning instantly made my day (worst) better.
Having the same advisory for three years taught me how important it is to feel supported and surrounded by people who are just there. It made school feel more enjoyable and gave me memories I know I won’t forget. One day I’m going to probably look back and miss those mornings, the random jokes, the goofy moments with my best friend, the conversations with my teacher, and the feeling of walking into a classroom where I felt belonged. I will deeply miss this.
