How You Know You Went To A Private Christian School

It's just like every other school, only stranger

Every single school is unique in its own way. There are some things that you can old understand if you went to school in the south, other things in the county schools. There are some things that define your experience in high school if you went to a private Christian school.

1. Every First Day of School Started with a Lesson from Luke 2:52

And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man

2. There was no such thing as practice or meetings on Sundays or Wednesdays around church time.

3. You know where all your teachers went to church, where most of them lived, and you probably had most of their cell phone numbers.

"I don't understand why students always want to roll my house; I only have two small trees. It's just sad."

4. Forget seeing shoulders. Dress code barely allows for kneecaps.

5. It wasn’t unusual to hear deep religious discussions walking through the halls.

6. Students try and get teachers to go on biblical rants as a way of getting them off subject.

7. Class retreats were a very common thing.

8. If you do show choir, it is not dancing. It is appropriate choreography.

You are a choreographing queen, young and sweet, only 17

9. It wasn’t unusual to hear a group break out in religious songs at the end of class.

I owe my high school years to Brandon, Logan, Jeremy, George, and whoever else brightened my day every day in math class with their killer harmonies

10. Every event started out with a prayer

11. It wasn’t uncommon to have verses of the bible used as the class rules.

12. All school successes were attributed to “recruiting”.

Please don't get me started on this subject

13. If you go out with friends from another schools, they always act shocked that you know a certain song or movie.

So I live under a rock? Do I look like a starfish>

14. The weekend of a big area wide church retreat was like a school holiday.

Challenge Youth Conference? Winterfest? Don't expect anyone, including the teachers, to be there

15. “You go to a private school so you must be rich.”

Actually no, most of us aren't

16. You go to hell is a joked about reason for why not to cheat on a test

That's partially a joking comment

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
