This personal blog is about how I have moved from Hamden schools to Cheshire. My transition in schools was hard. I miss all of my friends and its very tough to see any of them.  On the first day I was able to meet a few people. At first I thought the kids would be mean and unwilling to take me in as a friend. I felt that everyone hated me. I was very nervous and scared but I soon realized that it isn’t so bad after all. Once I started to walk around a little bit and got to know the school i felt comfortable here. The teachers are nice and they treat me like family and I don’t feel left out at all anymore. I like my new school and I feel there is more freedom here than my old school.

In my old school you’d have to have passes for where ever you went and you also had to have bathroom keys.  However the good thing about Hamden was that  there wasn’t as much homework and we didn’t have too wear uniforms for gym. I’m not very happy about wearing uniforms in gym here at Dodd.

The best part about Dodd is that we don’t have to have the teachers walk us to and from lunch. I always found that annoying in my old school. Other than that I love my classes and I think its nice here. The sad part is people will come up to me and ask me if I know somebody and I don’t know them or who there talking about. I used to know everybody in my old school and it was easy for me to get around. This is my honest and personal opinion about how I feel about Cheshire.
