My Highschool(s) Experience

Freshman: Forest Lake Academy [ private ]

Sophomore: Lake Brantley High School [ public ]

Junior: Lake Brantley High School [ public ]

Senior: Forest Lake Academy [ private ]

My family and i left New York and moved to Orlando, FL just in time for my freshmen 1st day orientation. Orlando, aka Borelando, was a strange foreign land where lizards scale the bathroom walls, pickup trucks have hanging brass balls attached to their bumpers, and the humidity molests you.

Looking back i realize that even then i was keen to 'sudden newness'. So adjusting to the abrupt change of environment was in candid stride. New state, new city, new friends, and i could even carry over my "Jellee" nickname?! - hooray!

Freshman year was a breeze. Lots of poolside EVERYTHING.

....then the next year came around and i had to 'start all over again'. I headed to my district's public high school for both sophomore & junior years. Interestingly, I figured i'd try going by my middle name for the first time, Lee.

Total rebrand. I was a bit more focused on schoolwork, wore glasses, sat in the front of most classes and even offered 'pay me to study for you' services. I relied less on my previously established private school class clown credentials....though by junior year my impulse to obnoxiously entertain was showing its face again...which consequently resulted in summer school algebra class(es). ehem.

Senior year was my return to the private school. Brandishing my 'unique' public school experiences as war wounds [ bragging rights ] got me even more cool points. This was in part the making of a slightly over-confident / just under-arrogant hybrid that i had become by the time graduation rolled around.

...immediately afterwords, real life began. And Jelsen Lee Innocent commenced. I'll let you know how it all pans out 40yrs from now, eh.
