Throughout high school my family moved around a lot for my dad’s job. Some people who move a lot say they don’t make friends. I was just the opposite and took the opportunity to make many friends along the way.
My senior year of high school we landed in a little town in west Virginia. It was an old coal mining town with about a medium sized county high school. Some people had told me the football team was pretty good so that’s what EVERYONE in the town did on Friday nights.
My first day of one of my classes the teacher introduced me and assigned me a seat. He explained they worked in “Learning Groups.” Every one sat at high top tables of three. I took the only vacant seat in the room.
Already seated at the table were two girls. They introduced themselves as Dakota and Paisley.
