For many years I was scared to go to college because I thought I wasn’t college material. Hearing Capitan Mark Kelly speak about being an underachiever, and a “not so great” student really helped me see that light at the end of the tunnel. When final build up the courage with in myself, I enrolled into San Jacinto College. The only thing that stood in the way was that standardize test.

Two days before Christmas, Jason caught the Norwalk virus, throwing the whole process off-track as doctors kept him quarantined, waiting for him to recover. If Jason was no longer a suitable match—if his health wasn’t good enough or there was something wrong with his liver—the chances of finding another donor in time were extremely slim.

After reading the team roster posted outside the coaches office and not seeing my name on it. As a freshman, I had always heard the stories of how former players had reacted to the news of being cut, some left school in tears, some tried to beg the coach to give them another chance, some hit a wall and broke their knuckles and most spent the next month in isolation not wanting to face former team mates.

I was surprised at how aggravated I was when I was reading because Hal ad Claire didn’t believe her. Catherine kept this big secret from everyone and when she finally decides to open up and tell them they don’t believe her.

When the results of the lack of a beginner band started to show in low enrollment in the band classes at both Guinyard-Butler and Barnwell High School, they realized they needed to make a change and added band back to the 6th grade.
