New Kids at ACE

New Kids at ACE
By: Geslene Rodriguez
Imagine coming to a new school barely knowing anyone. Well let me tell you it’s not easy. As a new student I know what it feels like to be called the new kid. Coming to ACE made me view to this school in a different way. To many students that attend Danbury High School, ACE is the school for bad kids. That’s what I thought before I came to this school. But coming here made me realize that it’s just like D.H.S but more hands on learning.  I learned that, you can’t judge a book by its cover.

I started at ACE a couple of weeks ago at the end of the first quarter. I was kind of nervous and excited both at the same time. I was excited because ACE was a new beginning for me. It was an opportunity to get my grades up and a chance for me to graduate. I was nervous because I was starting in the middle of the first semester and I barely knew anyone at ACE. Most of the faces at ACE were new to me. The only person I really knew was Jessica Siguenzo, who is also a new student at ACE. She started during the middle of first quarter. She likes coming to this school. She thinks it’s , “great.”

It wasn’t as nerve wrecking for her coming to this school as it was for me because she knew a lot of people at this school. Another new student at this school Melissa Small, she said it was “excellent” coming to ACE as a new student. “Hopefully throughout the school year I will grow as a person and have some new friends.”

Overall coming to ACE wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. Everybody was nice and it seemed like everyone at the school was a big family. The only thing was that I was called the new girl which I didn’t like. Other then that it felt good having a fresh start. It was another opportunity to make things right for myself.  ACE is a school just like any other. They do the same things other schools do but their more unified in what they do. You should never be afraid to try something new or to go to new places. They might be better then what they appear to be!
