The Brains Behind the Group

It still surprises me everyday when I think to myself, oh dear lord these kids are my age. I call them "these kids"(10-28-14 fieldnotes) because they act middle schoolers and talk like middle schoolers, and we all know how bad and strange some of those conversations can get, I don't dare talk to them out of fear of being sucked into a conversation I have not interest in talk about. These kids however are in high school and from the information I can gather they go to either Bishop Manogue High School or Galena High School. They do see me even in my best effort to be unseen, they have discovered that I go to Wooster High School and that I take an IB class and also take JROTC, which later lead to endless remarks about how I am both a nerd and a nark.

 To me some of these kids are the exemplification of what is wrong with the public school system today. However, one of the kids in the group, who I believe is their charismatic leader of sorts, is actually rather intelligent. I have given him the nickname of "brains".

  1. This seems rather interesting, I like the last paragraph it seems a little mysterious. Especially the last sentence. Are you going to go more into it? That's what the last paragraph implies to me. Rather nice post.
